Flash is actually really useful for initiating with rear line carries with the ultimate and pulling them in during a teamfight. Also, it just generally gives more of an edge in terms of the element of surprise in lane ganks (assuming that the bush hasn't been warded and they don't know you're there). Also, I find it helps a ton with survivability in terms of escaping from ambushes in jungle (if you're jungling) and throwback abilities like volibear's and singed's while in lane.
