I believe reference.com and about.com are, along with answers.com, the biggest reusers in profile and size.

Legitimate mirrors and people who want to reuse our content are free, and encouraged, to download a database dump and process it for their needs.
Say, are there examples of people who do this well, contributing back to Wikipedia or to the general public? The examples I've seen are all a bit disappointing, but perhaps that's just because the outrageous ones generate more attention.
answers.com is perhaps our most high-profile reuser, but we have an agreement with them for a live feed. I'm not offhand aware of a particularly shining example of a database-dump site, partly because we tend to outstrip them quite fast (and because enwiki dumps were iffy for quite a while, meaning most of them are long-stagnant)
There are certainly some decent offline projects using dumps, though, in one form or another.
