You should be covering both brakes all the time. Burning off speed by using "some" rear allows your front end to stay less compressed with better mobility.
I use my rear all the time during normal braking, both brakes will have equal pressure until the final 15-20 MPH and the front will do the work. By covering the brake (always having 2 fingers on the brake) you are less likely to grab a handful in emergency situations.
Rear braking on tracks are used only to stabilize or straighten out the bike while trail braking with the front will cause yaw or lean, so they both have there benefits.
