How do you use cloak effectively?

Question

I chose the infiltrator class and have maxed out the cloaking ability. Overall the class and their cloak ability still seems disappointing when compared to some of the other class abilities.

So far I have been using cloak to get easy headshots with the sniper rife at medium range or to sneak up behind a small group of enemies and melee them. But both of these strategies mean that I can only take out ~1 enemy before becoming uncloaked.

What is the most effective strategy for cloaking?

Answer

Having played a bit further I have found cloak to be a bit more useful. You can get a perk that allows you to use one power and still remain cloaked. So you can cloak, get into a good position, take out a few enemies by using a power that has a blast range e.g. grenades, and then retreat.

I haven't found it to actually provide much benefit for headshots as the sniper rifle's time dilation makes this easy enough without cloaking.
