Making Flash do damage is a bit like making BLM's Flare cost TP instead of MP. You might as well make it cost 0 MP at that point, as it's effectively free dps with no meaningful resource cost. I know that Flash and Unleash seem to be similar superficially, but MP management is absolutely critical when playing DRK, and is absolutely trivial when playing PLD.
Pld might not need so much mana, but clemency and stances do cost mana - as I don't ignore the skill I had the chance to enjoy being unable to change the stance on few occasions and it's lovely feeling. Being able to spam flash for "free" dps would actually make the mana management less trivial than it is right now.
