Flash still has some use. It's omni-directional for mobs don't always like to line up nicely in a cone for overpower. It uses a different resource than overpower when running out of TP is a concern. It gives you something you can do during pacification in case there's an add that spawns if you mistimed berserk. And you can use it without having anything targetted in cases where the in game targetting is being stupid or you're getting severe ability lag that's just messing with everything you do (i'm looking at you brayflox...).

Convalescence and provoke are the only really must have cross class abilitites. Featherfoot is probably the next best in terms of mitigating damage. Everything else is not all that special, so I just run with IR and flash for normal everyday stuff and swap out second wind/awareness if I want every bit of mitigation possible (don't have mantra unlocked).
