Basically any mob you encounter while questing you can use Mind Spike x2 (or 3) followed by instant Mind Blast and Shadow Word: Death.
Things die so fast it's not even funny. Don't bother with dots on quest mobs, unless they're over 100k, you'll do better with Mind Spike + Blast + SWD.
In dungeons, use it on non-elites or low-health adds.
It's also strong in PvP because it counts as 2 schools of magic, thus you cannot be locked out of casting it.

Mind spike is not a part of your single target maximum DPS rotation for long fights (i.e. Bosses; most instance trash)
Mind Spike is for periods were burst damage is needed over a fairly short period of time. An example you probably are familiar with would be adds on Saurfang in ICC. Generally those died too fast for DoTs to be worth it, but Shadow didn't have a lot of alternatives. With mind spike, you would be able to spam MS and MB with the occasional SW:D mixed in and get much better burst damage out quickly.
Personally, I also found it a far quicker and more efficient way to level. Non-instance mobs generally have low enough HP that MS/MB/SW:D are better than a dot-based/MF 'rotation.'
