I am going to sound like a broken record but imagine if you had a squad of scarabs (full) and a destroyer lord. Give the lord LF and charge into combat. Your squad will have 33 wounds to get through to finish it in h2h assuming you dont charge st6+. Now everytime one of those 33 wounds gets taken you get a st3 hit back at whatever is attacking you. This may not be the best against SM as their toughness + power armor will resist it well. Charge it against a huge squad of Orcs, or Gaunts, or even Tau and watch the lightning fly!
I have tried this a bunch, mostly against Tau and the field pays for itself after only a model or two gets shocked to death.
