Presto. Explosive Caltrops.
My traps defender can easily stack three patches.

You know the escapees in BAF? Their particular behaviour involves standing around for a few seconds before taking off -- that's usually enough time for one round of ProcTrops to go off. Further, oppressive gloom tends to mez the minions, making them ripe for more procs. Gas Trap? That one's also procced up -- and even lieuts sometimes have to stop for a quick puke. Acid Mortar (at least 2 out at all times)has a purple damage proc. And a -resistance proc. If any lieuts get away from my trapper, a stiff breeze will drop them.

High hilarity!

The other use for Caltrops?

Ambushes

Forgot to add -- for me, I love the combination of procs and traps because I end up getting a lot of damage out of otherwise low damage powers I'd be using anyways.
