Adam- I can't offer you a definitive explanation or a when to use and not use spans, but I can offer you one real-world example. The only place in the entire municipal site that I manage that I use a span is for doing drop caps at the beginning of a page of text. I enclose the first letter in the paragraph with a span and give it a .dropcap class. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other uses of span except for styling individual text characters within the body of a paragraph.
