How is it highly situational? It doesn't have to be used when a fight is already in progress. You can use it to interrupt a fight, chase fleeing enemies, set up ganks, set up kills far away, stop followup from arriving, stop towerdives, allow towerdives, secure neutral monsters and slow down pursuers. While it may be hard to use in an ongoing teamfight, it has so many other ways to be used before and after it.

If used correctly it's probably one of the best ultimates in the game, a lot because of its flexability. By maxing it you're reducing the cooldown by 40 seconds, or if at max cooldown reduction 24 seconds.
