I actually tend to be one of those guys that is pretty desperate to keep my hazards. Generally, I only refrain from doing so if all I have is SR vs a non-SR weak team and I'm up against a Forretress who treatens to set up Spikes. Hazards are just really important in wearing stuff down, punishing switches, and removing some risk in prediction as I will at least have racked up some hazard damage if I mispredict a switch. My Jellicent set is also kind of responsible for this as it beats most Starmie and can even beat CB TTar if I predict the Pursuit/Crunch correctly (The spread is 404 HP/ 36 Def/ 108 SpDef/ 112 Spd IIRC).
