Low damage range ≠  weak in the case of Gnashing. It has the significant advantage of being able to be cast both in and out of combat. Casting it outside would slice up any enemy in a visible region anywhere on the map. One or two of those can give you a good health advantage when heading into a hot zone, or even take out weak stragglers attempting to pin you. I've been able to strengthen the odds of Mana well battles by doing just that: a heavily damaged enemy unit attempts to attack me with or without its allies, then Gnashing finishes it off before it can finish moving on my territory.
