At 10 for the dash in, you'll need one or two GCD to recover from the loss, depending on what step you're on in your combo, you're landing a positional, or stabbing with Yuki. Both dashes also only deal 100 damage, but they save time on movement if you need to either dodge an AoE or quickly get to an add to burst down.
Does not sound like a very efficient use of their resource, then, but they may not have as much potency invested in their resource. War BG consumers are quite stronger than the third step of a combo, so using BG for other things is a big sacrifice.

Butcher's Block is 280.
Inner Beast (50 bg) is 350 and ignores stance damage penalty.
Fell Cleve (50bg) is 500

Delaying those by a full combo rotation to save a second of running is a big no-no in my book.

I'm just gazing at SAM combos. Their strongest 3rd step is 400 potency, none of their consumers is that strong, although they seem to be instant use abilities off GCD. Their faster combo builder is a 2 GCD, though, fastest War builder is 3 GCDs. All in all: seems its a way bigger cost for the War to waste it's resource on this than it's for SAM.
