What's the point of the Quad Rocket alt-fire?
I'm at Gen 4 so have to use the Quad Rocket to head to 5, and I have no clue why anyone would ever use the alt-fire (zoom) mode. The rockets simply seem to travel slower, and in a larger spread. Against ground targets they smear out and maybe one rocket will hit near a grunt, and against Titans they become extremely easy to dodge.
Is that it, or is there some other subtle effect I'm not picking up on? In what situations is the alt-fire mode advantageous?

Yup, Quad Rocket's alternate slow-moving fire mode is all about blocking a path. Can be useful when defending an objective or when collaborating with other teammates. This site has some useful tips on how to use the Quad Rocket, too: http://titanfall.onegameguide.com/quad-rocket/
The Quad Rocket isn't my favorite gun, but if you have to use it for the regen, the Stryder is the way to go.

I've found that when you fire a couple rounds and then a couple in alt-mode, it can deal much more damage than than usual. using it at close range is also a good idea because you can maneuver away from the blast spread.
