Interesting question and response. I haven't used either but read about both systems independently. A bit more googling and I found:

http://www.slideshare.net/gschmutz/kafka-andstromeventproces...

Slides 42 and 43 describe an architecture with all three ... hadoop, storm and kafka. Seems like a beast and I don't have applications but pretty cool combo of technologies.

http://manning.com/marz/ - this is often the trifecta used in the "lambda architecture", coined by nathan marz. This is also the system they built @ backtype to do their real-time analytics system.

Also worth checking out http://radar.oreilly.com/2014/07/questioning-the-lambda-arch... from Jay Kreps, who's part of the Kafka braintrust.
