Seems like it's hardly even worth using since you are interrupting your auto attack for a second when using it which lowers Ninki accumulation slightly.
Even if the auto-attack animation doesn't go off in the middle of another animation, the damage will still occur. Only casts can delay auto-attacks when they might otherwise have finished, and there is nothing capable of resetting their progress. This ends up a rare issue managed only by luck for Paladins during Requiescat, but is irrelevant/inexistant for all other jobs, especially now that booking/caning the boss isn't remotely worth crowding melee in the vast majority of cases.

If you really need the silence, save it for that; otherwise use it on CD unless it'd delay a more important CD. It's free damage.
