Loops have been something that I hardly ever use in my mixes, what are some tips to start integrating them into mixes. And what are some examples of times that they would be useful.

I am a loop whore, possibly because of the way i view music; "oooh i like that sound"
Most my transitons tend to be built around loops, just pick sounds you like that fit well and layer them up.
I use them all the time, like loop a bassline, and swap em out...or something like this:
I think having a consistent three or four loops in your set help to glue the whole thing together.
The obvious answer is it allows you to mix longer - taking the best part of a track and making it last for....as long as you want it to you.
This is what the beauty of the sync button brings - you can layer up a mix out of a track, add another loop of a little vocal from another track, a little stabby riff....ANYTHING...and before you know it your creating your very own unique version of a track. It's amazing.

Any way to use loops, granted I don't have 4 decks to use :X
If you don't use four decks then you're really handicapping yourself if you want to use loops
