lots of cases.
Generally, any case where you want some flexibility to do some custom processing inside SSIS which cannot be achieved using any of your native tasks in SSIS.
some of the cases which immediately comes to my mind where i used script task

1. Validating source data based on custom business logic as maintained by a rules engine table. The data patterns were stored as regular expression pattern for each column of source (a csv)
2. Generating script on the fly based on configuration values (username,password,ip,port etc) passed for use by one of the SFTP clients
3. Manipulating variable values based on some business logic (prior to SQL 2012). SQL 2012 has an expression task which you can utlize for this.
4. Calling a stored procedure inside data flow engine for some custom processing on a data row based on one (or multiple) conditions.
