2 gold per tick PER PERSON. 2v2, I wouldn't get it. 3v3, I'd get it if the game is going to be long. 4v4 or 5v5 it's definitely worth it.

EDIT: Oh, and if you have a regulus with coin purse it's totally worth it.

Yeah if the game is going to be long i will get it too but not early in game. We need money to get equip. And spend 3k for only 2 more gold is not a priority. Even if EACH players on ur team get 2 more gold each sec, u can get this gold faster with creeps and flag.

Depend if the game will be long or not. Useless to get cur2 if the game is almost done

I definitely agree with pacov & nomilarac.  You can also look at it this way... In any situation 1 person is making the investment and gimping oneself to benefit the team.  Assuming 3000 gold investment @ .9 seconds per tick and 2 gold per tick, it takes that 1 person 1350 seconds (22.5 minutes) before they begin to receive they're ROI (personally). 

In that same amount of time the other teamates Make 3000 gold additionally each with zero investment.  In a 2v2 situation this is a direct transfer over time.  It would be more effective to drop your teammate a $3k piece of armor that he needs.

From a team perspective:

In a 3v3 situation then it still takes the investor 22.5 minutes to break even but the team pool of gold breaks even after 450 seconds which is 7.5 minutes (as stated above a couple of times)

for 4v4 it takes 337.5 seconds (5.625 minutes) for the team to break even and 5v5 = 270 seconds (4.5 minutes.)  

The person making the investment has to be a ranged attacker that doesn't rely on armor to stay alive.  As pacov mentioned a regulus is the best person to make the investment.  A tank would really be hurting their team if they got cur II regardless if its 5v5.  An ice TB that has enough mana (ie. BotS) may be a candidate since they are mostly ranged.

Also have to remember, whoever gets it CAN'T die. If they die because they were too weak, then all the benefit from purchasing the upgrade is lost. This is why Regulus is really the only "good" candidate for purchasing Cur 2 in 3v3 Cata, assuming no or very few kills per side. 4v4 Levi Sedna can easily run around with roughly 4k gold worth of items for most of the game so one person can get Cur I and she can get Cur II. 

No its not useless. If you expect a long game it is benefitial to have it especially on Zik.

Well, I don't usually like Curr 2. 

The way I look at it:

I usually see it purchased around lvl 10/10 mins in or so. 

I just feel that 3,000 spent on yourself means more NOW then it would in however long it takes for Curr2 to assist. Sure, it helps others, but by the time it helps them, its gotten to the point where it doesn't matter as much.

I'm not saying late game gold is worthless, its just more important to get yo' shit together early and it hurts whoever does it.

Not if theres kills left and right though, then go crazy. Just in close games, I don't see it worthwhile.

I say a War Rank takes about 3.33333333 minutes.

So if you get it by 5, you will have 1.2k by rank 8, unless the other team is doing poorly and let you get all the flags.

Basically, if you get it, it's same as you gave your allies ~1k gold by rank 8.

Are you willing to lose 1.8k gold so that your allies will have 2.4k gold?

Just keep in mind its 1.2k in 10min...no matter how many flag you control. If you can buy it earlier in game its a most. Otherwise, you need someone who doesnt need lot of stuff like Reg/TB and you need to have the 3k to spend it. So the one who spend the 3k need 25min to recover his 3k.

Reg is the only dg in a 3v3 that should buy cur II without lots of kills.
