A few notes before I continue: There's two builds here. The first is the 'To 50' build, and is meant to be a cheap and effective build to get Flash to level 50 and in fact you should be able to put together the recipes and materials to build it immediately. I set all the IO levels at 30 because that makes them about 2% better than SOs, they won't ever wear out, and they won't cost an arm and a dick to craft in materials. If you still find them too expensive, you can make level 25 IOs of the same type and they'll be 1.3% less awesome than SOs, but less expensive and require a lower grade of salvage.
The second build is the 'Perfect 50' build, and is meant to be just about as powerful (and prohibitively expensive!) as you can get. I can easily see it costing about 500 million influence for the lot.
Acrobatics is in the build to prevent holds from locking you down or being knocked back, which you desperately need. I'm not sure about the effect Stamina will have on your build, but with a more rapidfire attack like Neutrino Bolt as your mainstay you'll probably need more endurance regen. And why'd I take X-ray Bolt out and keep Neutrino? Well, Neutrino's got the highest DPS and best Damage/Endurance ratings of all your attacks, completely outclassing X-Ray Bolt, with its only weakness being the -12.5% defense debuff it has, compared to Cosmic Burst or Irradiate's -51% defense debuff. You have to have Aim, as it's a godsend when you absolutely, positively have to connect with those Transfusions Right This Second. Power Build Up is even more awesome, as it'll improve your accuracy, as well as your damage and any of your secondary effects (like your heals and debuffs!)
Combat is thankfully similar between the builds. You should open with your Siphons and Transferences and Fulcrum Shifts and what-have-you, and if/when you hit a point when you want or need to attack, open with Cosmic Burst for the giant 12 second -51% defense penalty (29.1 seconds with Power Build Up active!) across the board and then set Neutrino Bolt to autofire.
If the enemy gets close, fry them with Irradiate and paste them with Total Focus, and if that doesn't do it, hit the Atomic Burst emergency button (and try to hit Aim and have Assault/Tactics/whatever other buffs you can get before it fires!) and watch the screen clear.
