I myself have 120 fusion stones in the bank and it's not really going down, a bunch of 50EP armors and fusion boost armors cluttering my armor slots, DP+ waiting for a guild fusion boost quest to max it and get rid of 4 stupid fusion boost armors, Roc+ too low level to apply 50EP armors without it being kind of a waste, Assasin+ still crafting and then needing lots of leveling before 50EP armors are of use.
In such a case IMNSHO fusing 3-star armors is a sensible thing to do: takes relatively little time, doesn't use up almost non-replacable resources and only takes up 2 armor slots, which are one of the biggest bottlenecks in this game for me.
With lots of luck, you can get an epic and with a bit of luck a good legendary.
Myself, I just haven't hit that luck yet:
Dark Prince + Swamp Shaman -> Spectral Captain
Infernal + Spectral -> Steam Wizard
tl;dr: you're only looking at it from the "fusion stones, followed by EP are the bottlenecks" p.o.v.
