Vortex - Area denial. Great for cutting off choke points. AI is smart so enemies (even lowly Thralls) won't stupidly run into it 99% of the time, but this means you have some time before really having to deal with whatever horde you just stonewalled. Alternatively, you could shoot through the vortex field to take out any enemies standing behind it, waiting for it to end. Also works excellently against Cabal Phalanx as the perfectly spherical field of effect reaches right around their shields.
Scatter - Covers the largest amount of space of the three. Immediate reaction for those groups you need to down quickly. Personally, I consider this the least useful, but I'm sure someone else has found better use of it.
Axion Bolt - Homing bolts guarantee a kill or two against lower level minions of same level as player or lower. Combined with Bloom it makes for a nice room cleaner against tightly packed groups. My favorite.

I found that a scatter thrown at someone's feet is the most efficient way of killing with a grenade for me. For whatever reason, my axion bolt fails me on a fairly consistent basis.

what's bloom

Bloom is a skill in the last column of the Voidwalker skill set. Exact description: "Enemies killed by any of your abilities explode." So if you're a Voidwalker with Bloom active then any enemies killed by your Nova Bomb, any grenade, or Energy Drain melee will cause a small explosion that can damage/kill other enemies if they are close enough. The beauty of this is that Bloom itself is an ability so any enemy killed by a Bloomsplosion will also explode, which can cause a magnificent chain of death against weaker minions and even some larger ones (like Knights) if enough Bloomsplosions hit them. This is why I said it's a great room cleaner against tightly packed groups, if even 1 Axion Bolt hits and kills a weaker enemy then the whole group will either die or take damage.
