Flipster, unless you're looking to Elevate Your Photography, don't worry about buying another flash.
It's a DSLR, you've paid for one so that you have control over the settings.
For a snapshot, put it into Av mode, dialing in Exposure Compensation as required. For a better pic, choose Manual and expose for the background minus one, minus two stops, whatever you like. A sunset you want to keep will be different from an ugly cluttered wall you want to hide.
Put the flash up and take the pic. That's it.
P-TTL can be adjusted a couple of steps down by rotating the dial if you want it to be more subtle.
The default Auto setting you've experienced is an attempt to get both subject and background lit, but only you know whether you want that or not.
