I'm not sure trapping could be used during the grappling range? I don't know it to be usefull there - I think I've seen some guys try to use trapping when they were mounted to try and negate some ground and pound type attack, but I think that's using a tool outside of the range for what it was intended.
The idea would be to use trapping in an MMA match during a stand-up exchange to negate your opponents strike and land your own.

no im saying it leaves you totally open to take downs. it doesnt work on many levels, as michael points out above its a waste of energy and is inefficient.
why block, move, trap then hit when you can block and hit?
in the process it leaves you open, blindingly easy to counter if you dont play the trapping game as you can have a higher work rate.
add footwork and making trapping work becomes even less likely.
i personally cant see the point at which it becomes useful.
