Mind Flay only has a 20-yard range, and the priest has to stand still to get it to work. If the target is running away, you'll get at most one mind flay off before the target is out of range. The only use for it as a snare is to a) slow the target down just enough so that hopefully a partymember can catch up and do one of their snares or b) slow an approaching melee character down on their approach just a little bit. It's an ineffective attack if the priest is actively being hit, so the only time a priest can effectively spam it is if the priest is fighting a caster at close range or if enemy players are stupidly attacking someone nearby other than the priest.
