When a teamfight breaks out and both sides are commited, chuck it down. Usually works - you don't really want to just sit on it in the hopes of getting a better use later given how useful it is. Without blue or some kind of mana fix you won't be able to keep it up that long anyway, so try and use it early once both sides are in one area, then detonate when your team has the edge. If you're losing, keep it up and fall back, detonating once you've left the AoE.
