With the flag cap, if they were holding the flag, I'm guessing the FC wasn't being pressured that hard, so you must have gripped him for the purpose of capping. Why take the decision upon yourself? I know it's our shiny new spell, but save it for getting ranged away from melee, getting FC's away from pursuers, others are unlikely to thank you for it since you don't seem to be using it that well.
Anyhow, that's just pvp useage. In raids, you use it on the tank as he goes to pull. No exceptions, no apologies.
