awaiting and dissatisfaction - but hang on!

Yesterday i got a new gadget for our DSLR - a Nissin Di622 external flash. I bought this because i expect to need it at a galleryshooting for a friend of mine!
When i arrived at home, the first thing was - of course - put the camera out of the bag and take a few shots. Unfortunately the pics didn't look like i expected then! I took AV mode(4.5@ISO400 - 18-55mm package lens) in a room with only one light switched on and the flash directing to subject but surprisingly the EOS suggested 2" shutter speed?! The result - obvious - was a blurred normal bright photo. Flash on TTL mode!
I switched to Tv selected 1/125sec same ISO and suddenly the aperture was 5.6  and it was a really good shot! I even tried the AUTO mode which resulted in 1/60sec, 5.6 and ISO400 and a quiet nice photo.

The best results where at Tv with 1/125 and Auto ISO bouncing the flash via the ceiling at the subject - So what was my mistake? I will give you an update on that - maybe my i take a look at one of these books from Scott Kelby to find out more!

I don't want to shoot people in Tv mode or even worse in AUTO?! What's next? using the LCD to take photos?

cheers

Update:
still testing the external flash and as far as i can tell you, I'm satisfied although I don't have a reference because it is my first one. But I still can't figure out my Av/Tv issue even the books in my bookshelf couldn't help me further...
