Ive seen it work well on engage supports, for example an alistar hexflashing out of the bush knocking you up and headbutting you toward his team.

Yup, exactly. The thing is the OP is thinking of it as a defensive tool like flash, when it's more used as an offensive one.

Also i know pros play a different game, but i saw a ali support roam up to mid and hexflash on the enemy mid from the raptor pit, caught him completely by surprise.

I've seen it used as a mobility tool, not much of an escape though. Think jungler ganking over the wall with a JG that doesn't normally have those tools and such.

I occasionally use it when im playing thresh or blitz, or any supp that excells at picking off a target suddenly. It works at all times since, as you said, people dont respect it. No one expect a blitz to flash over a wall to hook the enemy syndra when the blitz flashed 50 seconds ago to hook, yet again, syndra

Alistar

Sometimes Blitzcrank

Basically only Alistar and maybe a very handful of others use it like a baby, while the rest won't touch it with a 50 foot pole.

Alistar most commonly

it just seems like it takes an absolute eternity to go off.

im pretty sure thats the drawback of it, so you basically dont have a free flash every time its off cooldown, you gotta charge it

You can use it to blink between two bushes without revealing yourself between them, and it's also good for surprise engages (like Fid does with his ult). I've also heard that Blitzcrank's channeling animation looks just like the beginning of his Q animation, so you can fool enemies into juking your Q when it's really just Hexflash, and then they have no dash/flash ready for your actual Q that you follow up with moments later.
