It's very situational to me.

Sometimes I want to make use of all my DPS as possible and not waste any attacks (such as long raid boss battles), then I wait for the bar to fill then use skill.

Sometimes it is worth sacrificing part of your active bar to snipe off a target or two before they attack, or timestopping a boss before it kills your near-death timestopper, unleashes a devasting area-attack or turns on an annoying counter attack skill, etc.
