Quite honestly I never look at them unless
a) There's been a significant deviation from normal behaviour - I know what the estate looks like and what it should look like
b) A user is complaining about something - usually dont need to go as far as DB stats for this.
c) It's a diff/"what has changed since X" exercise for analysis - self explanatory
d) Incident post mortem to find out what happened - a mixed bag, usually the "big ones" stop writing to these views anyway, they're often the first casualty
Almost always start with a diff between good and bad then look at the highlights and drill down from there. The process never changes, but the report areas sometimes do.
Reading them "just because" is the road to madness/compulsive tuning disorder in my opinion.
Edit: I should add that in my old age, a diff tends to be my second port of call because with enough time you'll find that 99/100 times you already know where to look based on what you've seen in real time/been told/top wait events.
