When is it appropriate to use a high level programming language? Personally, I always feel guilty when using anything except C.

Always.
HLLs are a good way to build up assembly code, too (or C, lol portable assembly). You already know what the asm should do, but it's not worth the time to fiddle around with all the instructions by hand. Teach the machine to do it for you, while still watching the generation of the assembly itself.
