@Octatonic pretty much hits the nail on the head. I too use it to embellish a phrase, and also for synthy noises. @meltedbuzzbox is right; I have my 13th in a line of 21. After all my drive and modulation stuff, but before delays and reverb* (well, kinda...after the Eterna, before the Supermoon).
2:23 onwards in this track I use it all the way to the end.

One cool way to use it is for small interval bends- anywhere between a semitone and a major third. Incorporate that in your single note playing and you'll be able to do stuff that you shouldn't be able to- bend a string up a tone, then use the whammy to bend it another tone. Subtle (unless you choose to make it un-subtle- the wider the interval the more obvious it becomes that it's a "trick"), but very cool, and will have the guitar players in your audiences doing double takes.
On my Behringer PS-600 if no expression pedal is plugged in on the whammy mode you can use the footswitch to control the pitch bends and one of the knobs sets the time delay to move between pitches. When it's set really short you can get an odd, glitchy kind of near-instant stepped pitch change that sounds a bit like that autotune "Cher effect". Might be harder to do that with the whammy, but you might get close.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

Mainly because they are awesome but also because there's whammy all over them.
It is indeed. I had a Morley Volume pedal in that position until a few hours ago, straight swap in/out for the whammy. I might jig it around a bit as this was just to give it a test.
