Lash is incredibly reliable for whip/flail specs. I have used flails to get kills for battle and fort. Just sit at 20 and own who ever you need to... There are alot of low level vuln exploitable whips and flails (mithril, iron, blunt, fire, cold) all able to be solo gathered by lvl 25. A giant lashing a gnome with two flails of bludgeoning will get you in the Village real quick.
The problem comes with the second spec. Often the specs paired with flails you would want to take first (hand/sword) for defense work at lower lvls. I struggled as a flail mace.. but imagine that with cry and ward could do well.
