Maybe if you wanted to get a bit of room to run from a mob after getting in hot water while doing solo mob-farming or something, but otherwise I just can't see the point to it.
Tackle Mastery works very well in PVP, the double shoulder tackle works well for mobility and the knockback works well in a variety of ways, from saving yourself, to knocking someone off a cliff or knocking them into your teammates.

Which begs the question of why it wasn't implemented solely as a PVP only thing since that is the only thing Should Tackle Mastery genuinely works in.
