Maybe as a warm-up before weight training. You don't have to, but I suppose it would limber-up your muscles. I wouldn't go crazy with it. Maybe just enough to get you ready for the weight. You could just start with a warm-up set with substantially lighter weight as well. It depends on your body weight as it relates to your strength too. If your a big person, then dips/pull-ups might be too heavy to just start into without some kind of a light warm up first.
