Against a big trash pull a caster limit break is basically the best damage output in the game. If you dont know a dungeon(or have a tank that makes erratic pulls) dont worry about it too much, but try to keep an eye out for those times when it can be used effectively. A one bar caster limit is roughly equal to 4-5 flares worth of damage on every mob in the aoe(and limits dont degrade over distance, so its primary target flare x 4-5 damage to everyone). That much damage all at once can shorten a pull significantly, turn a dangerous(wipe?) pull into a snooze, and it feels really good too(i used to love getting the wall in roulettes and blowing up all the mobs from those last 4 groups in that big last super pull at the end). So in other words, dont let that one group moaning at you put you off the idea that your LB can be a useful tool. It totally is.
