What's the point of the Dispatch skill?
In Shadow of Mordor you can use the Brand skill to force Uruk to fight on your side.
There also is another skill you can unlock after Brand named Dispatch:
Dispatch:
Press [k] to kill all branded Uruks and monsters.
What's the point?
Not only are they not attacking you when branded, they also fight your enemies for you. Why would you ever want to kill them, let alone waste a skill point for this?
I am sure there is a reasonable case of application here that I am missing.

Very late but just in case anyone still ever wants to know, it regains focus. That means arrow, slowing down time, shadow strikes etc. It also can provide a non-practical kind of enjoyment to the game. I like going into battle branding a few guys to help fight and then execute them when it's over. I never brand captains or warchiefs because I like the enjoyment of killing them but if I did, this would make it easier to kill them. So obviously a strategy could be to brand guys in a fight with combat brand (A+B on Xbox) and kill them to regain focus and pick of a few remaining guys with arrows. Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2
Another reason no one has mentioned yet it using it to frighten groups of Uruk.
If you have unlocked the tier 3 Wraith ability Wraith Blast (On the 360 it's apparently called Wraith Finisher) it makes it so when you press K (or otherwise drain or flurry kill an Uruk) their head explodes and nearby Uruk are stunned for a duration dependent on the current Hit Counter Number:
the size and strength of the stun distance depends on the current Hit Counter (weak at 0x-14x, stronger at 15x-29x, and strongest at 30x hit counter and up).
Branding a large quantity of Uruk would seem to work as a multiplier to this effect since multiple heads are exploding at once; however, I don't know if the game handles them in such a way that the stun is redundant, stacks, etc. That would definitely take a lot of testing, but it certainly does stun Uruk when used.
