It completely depends on the person's training style and damage. If they don't require the Final Blow hit to kill the monsters they're training at, maxing Final Blow isn't necessary. Same applies for if they need Final Blow + Double Swing to kill, they'd probably be better off just using two Over Swing Combos, etc.
It also depends on how spread mobs are as well; some maps will cater to using Final Blow more than others to reach things you can't with Charge, or prefer using Blow for instead. i.e. you could theoretically use Blow to aggro certain monsters too far away to come into your range, and deal great damage at the same time as opposed to using Charge, which is significantly weaker and slower to get a similar effect.
Of course, most high level monsters will have a Magic Attack alternative so aggroing might not be the best choice. Typhons comes to mind though; regardless off how much less DPS you might do throwing in a level 1 Blow, the extra reach to aggro more is much more worthwhile in my opinion.
TehMatt says Final Blow may also have been slowed down in the most recent KMS patch (though it may be a temporary glitch.) I'd personally probably go with more Aggression after Overswing than Blow, but definitely have the single point in it early on.
