Just reached lvl 49 and have to choose a new power, Ive heard it said flurry might be worth getting considering the critical hit factor. its either that super speed or conserve power. Any help would be appreciated.

There must be something better than Flurry. At the level your at you should have little to no attack chain gaps, so you don't really need an additional one with a long animation.
I could give you a poke in the eye - that'd be better than flurry

That bad huh?
You could give us your build, that would help. In any case, conserve power is genrally better thna flurry unless you want to go 'look at my mighty fluury!!1!' and then everybody laughs because you're being ironic.
Everytime someone takes Flurry. God kills a kitten.
Death to kittens! Flitz has had flurry in his attack chain since about lvl 6.

Did you just hear that a kitten had died?
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Well I took flurry for Eternal Light and decided to save God the trouble and killed a kitten myself.
Hardly use it in my attack chains due to the "your dead before it ends" animation. Mainly taken to give my scrapper a more speedster type appeal. It however has a higher damage output than Air Superiority and also has a chance of disorientating...albeit small.

I have a soft spot for flurry though the animation is way way to long!!
I agree with some of the other post though at 49 ther must be somthing better and you should have a attack chain you are happy with.

I took it for similar reasons. Also with MA it means I have four attacks that have a small to large chance to disorient - Flurry, Thunder Kick, Eagle's Claw and of course Cobra Strike. While TK and Flurry only disorient occasionally and for a short duration, they can neatly fill the gap between the big disorients from EC and CS.

Not realy i just revisted the thread and it came to my like a flash of inpiration 
If i made MA scrapper flurry would be one of the first powers i'd have, it would be a lifeboat to break up the monotony of all that kicking.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Oh yeah, that was the other reason I took it. Long animation can indeed get you killed if you trigger it at the wrong moment, but I like it when a villain is running away and you're still hitting him!

What's up with the Flurry hate?
It's not that bad. The DPS is acctually quite nice, 3 second animation, 3 second recharge. 3.18 damage (BI) in total, 0.53 per second. Cycling just one attack, that's about as good as Storm Kick gets (although Storm Kick has a 10% extra accuracy ... oh ... well).
Still, if we're just comparing attacks Flurry isn't that bad, in fact, it's rather good.
The problem is that when you do calculate damage in attack chains, damage per activation is more important. Here flurry is kind of crappy, but it's still a deasant filler, partially due to the rather long animation. You quick recycling attacks will most surely have recharged, for instance. Again, this is how you approach the matter, because while you probably could have fitted in two quicker attacks during one flurry those two attacks will most certainly cost more endurance.
Also, In the early game, I find it rather good in preventing gaps in attack chains, before recharge enhancers do anything at all really and you don't have that many attacks.
IMHO, it makes you look rather beefy too, definetly the neatest animation, like Shadow Maul without the fuzzy stuff .
But, in regards of the original question at hand. Flurry at level 49? Nope, it's not that good.
I like Flurry. Not bad damage, very low end. Maybe not the best choice for certain powersets though.
