Pulsing mode on Nikon speedlights is - believe it or not, so you can preview where any shadows will occur. Hit the pulse button and it whirrs away, emitting loads of brief pulses which are visible through the viewfinder allowing you to 'preview' the flash.
I just leave my SB-800 on program, with the camera to manual and adjust the output via the exposure compensation dial on the flash to - 1/3, 1/2 2/3 etc as required.
Flash is a black art which when done right should be seamless with the ambient light in the image. Unfortunately it's so easy to do it wrong.
