I'm talking specifically about the jungle. If you don't take Smite as a jungler then quite frankly you are being an idiot.

With regards to pushing, it really really is not very useful. If you really want to shove lanes, grab a Wriggles or a Tiamat and just whack away. You might actually push faster than using Smite.

And also, sure, while your team with have unfathomable buff control and has epic leashes, you sacrifice far more valuable summoner spells for actual fighting - a place where Smite has absolutely no effect (bar those edge cases of a pet or something). So in a sense you really are wasting a slot.
