The only good detailed resource I know for looking at dumps is the book "PANIC! UNIX System Crash Dump Analysis Handbook" by Chris Drake and Kimberley Brown, ISBN 0131493868.
This book is now out of print, but you can pick up a used copy from sellers on Amazon.com:
Hope this helps.

It's just a graphical tool instead of using mdb or another debugger with subcommands from the command line.
Unless you understand how to read a crash the utility is useless. The book referenced above is probably the best you can get for understanding them, then use the book information with the Crash Analysis Tool.
