Longer limbs combined with good flexibility can help you throw up triangles and catch armbars.
Being tall does not seem to hurt someone like Nate Diaz who is 6' and 155.

True but if he is going in to a competition to light with major depletion to get down to the weight division he isn't going to have the strength to pull off the subs and his oponents will have the strength to shrug off his submission attempts. Finding his optimal weight class would be far more beneficial for him for his height.
