Any time you want to handle an event in an ancestor of where it happened. Say you've got a DataGrid that uses a ComboBox as an itemRenderer. You probably wouldn't want the logic that handles the change event of the CB inside that itemRenderer component, you would want it in the parent of the DataGrid, or higher up the chain even, because thats probably where the data lives. Bubbling lets you do that.
