What is the reason for fuel dumping system?

Hi guys

Have a quick question about fuel dumping system. I always thought that it is there to decrease the landing weight in an emergency, but now I know that overweight landings are possible, so why is it necessary, does it have any other reason?

I read somewhere, that it has something with performance capabilities of the aircraft but cannot find any reference, could someone please shed some light on this for me?

Thanks for advance
