3D in general is useful. especially when the color map makes it hard to do magnitude comparisons between cells/clusters. Make it easy to toss 3d in whenever the user is looking at a 2d colored map and thinks "but how much more is this one than this one?".
color makes ordered comparisons easy, but not magnitude comparisons.
