We have an article coming soon to go over key issues in understanding what separates the attack shots from a rally shot and what court positions dictate you should rally vs how to know when it is time to Attack. This is a good place to start the discussion and mention anything that should be covered about this topic.

I think there are lots of detail to cover and situations to analyze, like shot selection moderately stretched wide (deep sloww CC to recover? fast DTL to challenge opponent's movement? sharp CC to keep the CC shifted positioning?).
Another question would be blaying short, yet uncomfortable (low) ball - like rallying with slice vs trying to approach.
And as maybe a separate matter - whether to force attack from the start of point (aggressive serving, returning) or go from rallying.
