Used to think it was the most useless thing up until about half way through Hell, switched over to it when I got the scatter rune and havent looked back.
Choke points (stairs, doorways etc) are awesome as you drop three in the exact same place which = 115k dmg (in my current gear) x 3 all in one go to all enemies within 8yrds for 1/4 of your hatred. For that cost I could fire Nether Tentacles 3 times which would be maybe 150k damage assuming single ticks on each mob.
The downside is if you dont trigger all the traps its wasted hatred, and occasionally environmental obstacles can cause you to drop the traps in stupid places.
