I've been in groups where HO were activated. The only thing that bothers me is that I'm still confused as to what they do. I've read up on them through Allakhazam, but it still confuzzles me. I suppose that's the biggest reason why I don't use them myself.
Different HOs do different things. Some are single or group buffs, some are DDs, some are group bonuses. I use them all the time. If nothing else they are free damage. For example as a fighter I can start a HO then fire off a direct damage spell (which I likely would've done anyway), followed by a taunt (which again, I would've done anyway) and that completes an individual HO which can result in either more DD or an armor buff. if other classes get in the mix and join in the HO, thats fine too. The more the merrier.
I notice over time I have less and less people join in the HOs that I kick off. Still do them though. On all my toons.
TTH has a decent explanation of how they work as well as a list of all the possible HO combos you can string together.
