All the time, especially for my last touch before BB if I have the CP to blow but not enough for a Manipulation. GS + ST can be really nice right before GS + BB, if you have 64 more CP than you need. My 15 step 100% (even on poor BB) rotation for 1-2*s also uses AT to great effect, but I don't think that's what you mean.

EDIT: I've even used Observe to great effect (14-17 CP more than needed for BB, GS with 2 turns left, Normal condition - Observed, condition changed to Good). There really aren't that many completely useless skills, just Flawless Synthesis, though some people swear by it for low level elemental synths. There are, however, some skills so situational they're really not good, like Flawless and the Brands.
