Not sure about now, but during the initial release, Desecrate could net you massively increased chances for getting the mods, which were scarce and valuable (Shield Charger in particular, which is a precept, so you need to own two of them to trade one).

Most of the enemies can have their bodies cut up with slash weapons, giving multiple desecrates per kill, so you have tons of health orbs lying around for your team.

Combine that with Despoil, Health Conversion, and Equilibrium, and you basically run around with full health and energy with 1350 armor the whole time. You don't even have to worry about getting 'nullified' by the guys on skates, since Desecrate is free.
