I agree with Ninjabear on basically everything. Instant speed is needed to screw up equips, enchants, and deal with lopsided toughness nasties that have haste or are going to get shroud if you can't blow them off the board. Hitting players allows you to finish off combo decks, finish off a player in the end game, while still controlling the board.
While this is decent removal and has beautiful art, if I'm in burn there are nicer options usually. Low toughness? Forked Bolt is beautiful. High toughness? I should have a beater the same size in power or better, I'm in red...
Burn covers most everything else.

It's used in Legacy, that bears a lot of weight. Who cares it just targets creatures, it's a different application than lightning bolt. In a deck that needs red removal not face burn, this is primo. The extra one point of damage makes this kill hundreds more creatures. 4.5/5

I'm a huge mono red player, and while lightning bolt is amazing, as a red player I can easily appreciate this card. While lightning bolt always going to be one of (if not) the best red cards ever, flame slash just does thinks bolt just can't, sure it's only a sorcery and it can't damage players but it still removes some larger creatures quicker/easier than bolt will in certain circumstances. If you don't like flame slash that's fine, don't play it, but don't rain on everyone else's parade.
I give this card a 4/5
