Yes, especially on defense, and against large groups of lightly armored troops. You get first shot, when they are all bunched up. Simply awesome.

One problem I did note, is that even if you script 3+ Dwarfs to cast bladewind first thing, not all of them will. Instead, some will buff your troops for a combat that will never take place, instead of killing more troops before they route on their movement.
