The only reason to take Flash is because you feel like using Flash for whatever arbitrary reason you come up with because it gives you the warm fuzzies. It's not going to actually contribute to your success in any way.
    Sorry, I use flash in dungeons. Why would anyone wast their tp on overpower before there's a full mob? I use flash till I got 9+ enemies then op op HS maim berserk, ir op op op op. usually you run out of tp so why waste it gathering the mob?

    Well, recall that you still regenerate 50 tp/GCD while in combat, even when you're pulling. You can use 1 Overpower every ~3 GCDs (which is pretty standard for doing multi-pulls in my experience), and you'll still be at full TP so, rather than wasting your TP, you'd be *using* the TP you'd otherwise be wasting by staying at max TP. Those empty GCDs while you're running account for a lot.

    I have yet to see or conceive of any occasion wherein you would be "wasting" Overpower (insofar as you wouldn't be getting damage worth the cost in an AoE scenario) while still getting real value out of Flash (insofar as you need the AoE enmity).
