This is when I'm not using the Speedlite. When I have it attached, which is almost never, right now I just keep it in P so that it gives me the "good shots" (even then they aren't as good as they could be). I never use full-auto and never use P either except when the flash is mounted. I really want to get good with the flash but I just don't know enough about it right now

Try Av. It gives you consistency with 85% of your normal shots, and if you have the camera set up for ambient exposures you'll be in the right ballpark for flash work. You might have to boost ISO or open up your aperture to keep the shutter speed fast enough to avoid blur, but I think you'll be a lot happier than with P.
