As you said, glancing is only useful in certain situations, however, you can actually combine both glance buttons together so you can look in different directions very quickly. Its a weird setup and not really worth using, mainly because to press both glance keys (if you have them set to Q and E...), you usually have to let go of forward or whatever direction you're currently running. You can, however, use it to quickly look forward (faster than just letting go of the key...by a little bit...) by pressing the glance key that isn't currently being help down, what'll happen is that you'll immediately look foward again.
Let's make an example here:
You're glancing right, you hear something ahead of you (like someone shooting at you...), so you press left glance and shoot at them, then you hear something to the left, if you let go of glance right, you'll immediately switch to glancing left and be able to shoot there as well. The only advantage really is that with glancing you don't change directions like you would if you used the mouse to look left and right while moving.
Really though, its all situational...and mixing multiple glance keys and mousing at the same time can be really disorienting if you aren't paying attention, you'll find yourself running the wrong way or bumping into a wall.
