I tend to agree with this. I find P-TTL fairly useless for photographing people because of the pre-flash; you end up with a lot of well-exposed pictures of people with their eyes closed. I've had much more success with other methods. It's easier than you'd think to estimate necessary flash power and set it manually after chimping a shot or two. So RF triggers seem like a good option to me (I have one).
I haven't used my flash for a while, so I'd probably want to brush up before trying to photograph an event with flash again. I may get the chance to do some of this again soon as I know someone who is getting married. I'm rather thankful, though, that they are using another amateur photographer friend rather than asking me to do it, so if I shoot parts of the event as well, there will be no pressure. They asked me about doing a video, but I explained that I don't have the gear for that (thank goodness :) ).
