To me it makes sense if you're the first team to score (a TD) then you go for 2 points. If you make it (2 pointer) then if you score again you kick the extra point. Why? Pressure on the opponent. This forces them to go for 2 at some point just to tie.
If you don't make the 2 pt conversion then you go for 2 the next time too. This gets you back level to kicking an extra point.
I've also been of the mind that if you score and you're up 7 points you should go for 2 points in the 4th quarter. You make it and now the opponent has a two score deficit. You don't and it's a tie proposition and with the extra point being back 15 yards you still have a descent shot (6%) of winning on a missed kick.
