In addition to the 'Normal' phase of operations, the fuel dump system would help a great deal to offload in case of OEI conditions for multi engined helicopters/emergencies where lesser all up mass would facilitate safe conditions.

However, I feel that carriage of additional load or troops is part of flight planning and fuel dumping operations as an alternative to poor planning won't be accepted in most cases.
