It's not as powerful as it used to be (I believe it was heavy cover equivalent), it's just light cover now.

It's still kind of handy if you ambush a squad where there is no other cover, since you'll have an advantage of light vs no cover, but it's not as powerful as it once was.

It's more useful now against Machineguns to avoid suppression and the like (which I believe was the original intention). Just be careful as when hitting the dirt your men are vulnerable to grenades and getting crushed by tanks. Use it sparingly.

After your opponent has thrown a grenade. If you use if before he has thrown a grenade you are only left with the option for instant retreat or lose 3-4 models, possibly the whole squad on retreat.
