AA is a good option for abilities that a character cannot use simultaneously (like attacks) and an adequate option for abilities that could be used simultaneously (such as most non-attacks). For example, you can build a competent psychic who possesses Mind Shield with Affliction and Fatigue Attack as alternate abilities of Mind Shield (representing different 'mental combat stances') and Mind Control with Mind Reading and Mind Probe as alternate abilities of Mind Control (representing different levels of mental contact).
