Getting up to release fuel

Under what circumstances would you go back to the gate to add 2000lbs of fuel to get you back to the release amount?
How is this different than getting a lower altitude assignment than requested and burning extra fuel doing so -- you'd still reach your destination with lesser than planned fuel on arrival. Why not continue the takeoff and ask for a re-release from dispatch while in flight.
