I'll try to be brief. Your flash is guaranteed to freeze any action. Typically, it fires at anywhere from 1/1000 to 1/10,000 of a second. It has nothing to do with shutter speed, although you will get some blur if you've got enough conflicting ambient light (e.g. the subject is in full sunlight and you're only using 1/60 or lower).
As for the actual "look" of the photo, you technically will be able to tell that's it been shot with a flash, but there are ways to get around that. Mess with aperture settings until everything looks nice and balanced.
The choice is yours: obviously flash-lit but frozen action, or natural light with a blurry subject.
Also, check out Stephen Dalton's work; his is pretty much the paramount of flash-lit macro photography, and you're probably trying to emulate one of his photos without even knowing it.
