Spamming Flash is boring

Another reason I gravitated away from tanking. I've had people tell me before that I should use Flash at LEAST 3 to 5 times on a pull. . . absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps if I were mass pulling (which I don't), but even then, with all the other enmity tools at my disposal, why rely on one that does no damage and only provides diminishing returns on the debuff it grants? So long as you as the tank are not outgeared by your party, and your healer/DPS aren't going all out as soon as you pull, keeping aggro ought not be too difficult. And personally speaking, I like feeling like I'm both actually fighting and doing damage when I pull.

Maybe I should finish leveling Warrior. . .

That is partially true if you are a Warrior as you have Overpower + Steel Cyclone which both deal damages on top of Flash, but not as Paladin. If you don't have a good aggro control from the start and if you have a BLM equally geared in your party, even with Quelling Strike, as soon as he does Flare, the mobs will straight away want to eat him alive and it won't take long till shits get real...
