Remember to that a slipping clutch = faster clutch plate wear. In the dirt as KKim mentioned above you often use the clutch in turns to keep the revs up. Keep in mind that the apex of a turn in the dirt is often a berm (think banking made of dirt) and there is so much traction there (especially if soft terrain) as well as coming out of the turn and straightening up that a dirt rider will use a bit of clutch to get the revs back up. Also in the dirt (especially with a high powered bike) a rider might choose to run a gear higher and abuse some clutch to make the ride smoother. I don't see where these would make sense on pavement though.
