I find the over-under grip incredibly uncomfortable and it distracts from my lift. I can use a hook grip at 250-275, but it's a struggle and I'm lazy, so I go normal grip on my warmup sets and straps on my work sets.

I've toyed with idea of using wraps on deadlifts but I've been able to use an alternating grip with no problems. There is a risk of tearing a bicep with such grip but I doubt that will happen. I can use a snatch grip up until 315 and have worked very hard to get there. Using wraps may allow you to lift some heavier weights but you are cheating your forearms and not allowing them to grow. To me it is more beneficial to get your "weak" point up (in this case forearms) so that you can also make gains in other lifts. If you are only using the wraps on max lifts I can see the argument, but using them during regular lifts I don't feel is the best strategy.
