Soul Driver is incredibly useful in second and third job, as it is stronger than all other mob attacks and has a very good attack range. That said, the skill is probably most useful for Paladins pre-Choas, as it is stronger than all of their mob skills from 2 to 5 targets, and it can hit five monsters at level 5 (level 100 UA) while the Paladin's Charged Blow can only hit up to 4 monsters. Paladins also get the added bonus of being able to use their Ice Charge to make Soul Driver freeze all of the enemies it hits, effectively making the player invincible if he/she can stand on a spot out of touch range and spam Driver.
After Chaos, however, Soul Driver loses its usefulness after level 120, as its damage is lowered from 250% per hit to 180% per hit, which does far less damage than Advanced Charged Blow, Berserk + Dragon Buster, and ACA + Intrepid Slash. After Chaos, I would imagine that Soul Driver would retain most of its usefulness for Heros, as they can't hit more than three monsters with their main attack skill until after Jump, and even then they can still only hit up to four monsters. Of course, even for a Hero, Soul Driver's use after level 120 is still very limited after Chaos.
