Without being funny, when it sounds right in the mix...

I do like Phaser on pads or long leads as you can hear the phaser effect, on short leads (fast playing) or plucks it gets lost IMO... but as I said when it sounds right it's right experiment away....

Works on pretty much anything. Gives lots of movement, which is good. Phaser is a really essential effect for me. Use it on static sounds too, without modulating the frequency, works great also for really rough bass sounds.

When I deem necessary. doesn't get much use.

Yes, Phasing is such a distinct effect you need to pick your moments but when you get it right you can go hog wild (like Itchikoo Park).

Like Carly, I mostly use on Pads and Strings but recently used a couple of times very subtly on drums to make them seem less "pasted In" to the mix.

I use it on growl patches but only as a background sort of modulation, it's a great hidden effect that is becoming more popular. The only thing about reasons stock phaser is that there is no dry wet balalnce I'm sure there's a way around that but I am more familiar with u-he , elements phaser, and expanses phaser I have a tutorial I posted on this forum where I brefiely show a scenario where it works look on the tutorials page on reason talk and the one that says expanse sound design

Include guitar, esp rhythm guitar in the Strings category, can be brilliant there. Phasing always has a certain 'mood' for me.

Two phasers in one
Congratulations on your graduation from the Academy! To commemorate your achievement, and prepare you for your assignment on board the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, you have been issued an official Starfleet phaser pistol. This new model is comprised of two parts: a removable Type 1 "cricket" phaser and a Type 2 pistol grip.

As with all standard-issue phasers, this one is equipped with four levels that may be necessary within your duties: Heat, Stun, Kill, and Disintegrate. There is also a Safety mode, for added security while your phaser is holstered. While it is possible to put your phaser into Overload, it is not recommended, due to the possibility of causing significant harm, loss of life, or destruction of property.

Best of luck to you aboard the Enterprise. Your new red Security uniform will be issued to you shortly as well - wear it with pride, Ensign.
