I think it's a Pseudo hit and run for the Wraithknight.
Seems the main use it's just to warp out of combat within 12" as long you not land on enemy units or impassable terrain.
This literally allow the knight to ignore Melee combat on his phase and get an extra round of firing it's weapons before charge back again. Wich seems to make sense since this variant lacks melee weapons.

The teleport itself is useless. The real deal is the ability to disappear and deep strike the next turn anywhere on the battle field (Jump Gargantuan). So basically it can jump anywhere in lieu of shooting.
I don't think you can use it while being in close combat. Can you?

Being able to jump off the board and into Reserves is quite handy, especially as I assume it can arrive back by Deep Strike.
Can save it from being bogged down by infantry, or getting its head kicked in by something nasty.

There's not much in the game that can kick in a WK's head with any degree of reliability outside of some of the greater daemons and some terminators or some such - but the thing is that a WK is, by itself, mobile enough to aviod any threats like that quite easily usually. Which makes the shunt even more head-scratching in its desired use-case. Why would I risk wounding my WK's doing something stupid *like moving at all*
The whole redeployment thing is a mixed bag and you're basically sacrificing a round of shooting to do something that is of marginal use in the first place for a model with a 2x 48" MASSIVE BLAST shots. If this thing had some Str D CCW then I might think twice about it since it could get you a reliable 3rd turn charge - but again, a regular WK is usually charging by turn 2 anyways.
I just can't see a reason to take this thing over a normal WK honestly and that's pretty sad because when I conjure up mental images of "Warp Spider Wraithknight" I get a funny feeling in the naughty zone.
