In position control, you want to accurately stick to one position. (yeah, I know... duh... ) With just P control, the error can get so small that you are sending a output of 0 (-10 - 10 - victor dead band) to the motor control. You want the integral term to look at that error building up and over power it.

In velocity control, you want to change your output on the fly, and compensate for where you think you need to be. PD works fine.
