I use only Thermal Clips to refill my ammo and grenades...

But I do try to spend the next 10s after using it shooting at a boss or something, to make the most of it.

I use them on Hazard Dagger...

I should've put only extra damage at times, I guess. :D

I'll use them for targets or to make a Banshee/Praetorian drop a teammate.

Other than that, not really for damage, I use them though.

Hazard Dagger.  And you thought the Hazard was the sandstorm....

Ah, used thermals on occasion.  Not much except for when I used the lolReegar to get my two solo golds.  Because fry all the things.

I usually only use them on grenade kits and to recharge bulletless weapons. Or, as many said, to make a Banshee/Pretorian drop a teammate.

At times but not often.

Rarely use them, outside of grenade classes, mostly in the heat of battle & I run out of ammo. Do the clips really help all that much? Never thought it could help keep a teammate from an insta-kill? I'll have to try that! Usually I'm not quick enough with missiles to help in those situations.

10 second, 100% damage bonus, that can be stacked

Particularly useful to get your one-shot weapons to stagger a banshee or praetorian about to nom your teammate...

I rarely remember the firepower boost, so almost never do it for this purpose, except when using grenade classes, when i try to time it so that it will replenish grenades and then fire weapons as much as possible.

Always use them even on non grenade classes with unlimited ammo weapons. Why wouldnt you take advantage of the extra damage boost .

I use thermal clipping EXCLUSIVELY For damage bonus, its great for target objectives as it allows a viable alternative to NOT use your missile on a lone atlas/banshee/prime/praetorian. its great for powerful slow reload weapons to cheat the reload and keep sustain fire like the javelin or claymore. it can allow you to potentially gun killstreak a spawn if u equip enough penetration mods and/or drill ammo. ill never use thermal clips for loss of ammo, thats what ammo boxes are for... but that damage bonus is far too precious. ill even use assault loadout for kits with particle rifles just because ill have 3 extra damage bonus clips. i dont see enough people rocking assault loadout perma gear and its mind boggling

edit: to answer OP's questions.... YES YES and OH YES 

also i will budget thermal clips on solo attempts because i like to use them on targets because i hate missiling lone target bosses and want to save missiles for other uses... (somethimes you have no choice)

I mostly use it for jump starting the recharge on the PPR and CSMG. As I'm usually shooting at a boss, forget that I depleted all the energy and don't want to wait for the cooldown. As I'm waiting for a decent chunk to recharge back up, I'm usually using powers in between the wait. I also use it to replenish my grenade supply if the ammo box is empty or need a good amount of grenades in a hurry. When I do use it, I try to make the most of that damage boost for 10 seconds. I'll hurry and find a boss to shoot at and take a good chunk of it's shields/barriers and health/armor before the boost expires.

I never remember the 100% damage boost :(. So they have been at 255 for a long long time now
