I mean do U use pitch as a efect in your set?
Like over usual pitch?
I use pitch until 100...and I use quite a lot pitch...usually into minus side...to give lil' "breaksy efect"...
I am STILL newbie dj...but I could NOT help my self tweaking the nobs...
And somehow I COULD NOT STOP PITCHING!

this is not really a good effect to use on the fly.  I think most djs who have experience will stay away from this one.  You can pitch alot, but then you must deal with the other factors of the track when you drastically do this.  If you cd decks/vinyl/mp3s have tempo lock than you can do this to a point, but I don't really think you are gonna have success to the point of taking a track of 130 down to 100.  Only my opinion though.

I haven't really messed around with that too much, although if you have a good pitch lock on whatever decks or software you're using, jumping the equivalent of changing the 33/45 switch on a turntable can be an interesting way of working in a few downtempo or d'n'b tracks if most of your set is in the 120-140 bpm range, or vice versa.

Also, one time I saw a DJ use drastic pitch changes to good effect where he was cutting in and out with the crossfader on a continuous tone (not a simple sine wave though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was from the breakdown of a record he was spinning) and working the pitch on the turntable from low to high then dropping it again while it was cut out for a really cool effect (probably pulling the record back again as he dropped the pitch back).

Like any effect, though, drastic pitch changes are probably something you wouldn't want do often (with the possible exception of if you're scratching), and it's something you wouldn't want to do when you're playing out unless you really know what you're doing.
