As corollary to this, I like to combine the two techniques: put the flash on the shoe cord and hold it as far to your left as you can, but with the flash head pointing straight up (clearly this only works in rooms that don't have extremely high ceilings). This way you get the modelling from having the light source at an angle to your subject, but you also get a nice diffuse light from bounce flash, and you get less wasted light spill than you would by bouncing the light with the flash on camera.
