Have you not already tested this? It's super easy to see for yourself.
It does exactly as what it says. Anything caught in it whirls around as if in a tornado, doing nothing but dancing in the air for 5 seconds. Enemies are displaced, so things like Strongarm bracers work. At least it used to. I'm not able to test the differences for another couple of days. If you require knowing, I can get back to your thread then.
Well Uriah, instead of being a dick in your response when you don't know what you are talking about, why don't you test it yourself or wait until someone who knows what they are talking about responds?
OP: the confusion is that the incapacitation doesn't work on elites. Only white mobs. I am not sure if this is Blizzards intention or an oversight, but that is why it seems to not work. It does work on trash mobs in basically the same way Black Hole or Piranhado work, spinning mobs around for the duration of the flurry.

I'm really not interested in forum wars, but I would appreciate you having some self-discipline to refrain from attempting to belittle fellow posters so quickly. I'm sorry youfelt like I was being a dick in my response, but that was not actually so. The OP posted a day previous, so I couldn't have known if he had already tested this, and I was direct after noticing the OP had some clear grammatical and spelling errors, thinking English may not be a primary. If you feel my conduct is inappropriate, I'd be happy to listen to your opinion in a PM, rather than being attacked in a condescending manner in public.
As to the topic at hand, and the additional response, nothing has been added beyond what I said other than information regarding elites.
OP: I hope the info said here helps you in deciding on whether or not flurry is worth your time. If you'd like, I made a holy build using FS: Flurry that was quite successful in T3 that I could post for you to consider. It's a fun ability and a great addition to builds when you want to have fun, but myself and others have concluded that as far as efficiency, it really is lacking (Mannercookie has info/ opinion regarding this for your reference with video, OP).

Uriah, you were the one being condescending and it is unnecessary. The OP didn't know the answer, so there is no need to attack him. Do onto others what you wish to be done onto you. He only wanted help, and if posting in a forum about the game he is playing bothers you, then do not post at all. You didn't need to be rude to him, or reply with more condescension to me. The poster wanted to know something, that's all. Take your own advice, if you have a problem with the OP then PM him instead if being rude to him in a public forum.
Thanks for the info, as most of the white died instanly in the initial impact i mostly saw elite in the flurry, that must be why i didnt understand the way it was working.
I think i'll stick with the flurry because i dont really like bombardment, and condemn doesn't really fit in my build (i'm currently playing a ranged holy crusader)
Zetsuna, I think your post brings up something interesting though. I played around with the ability last night after getting home finally, and realized there's zero affect on elites. I wonder if this is intended? The wizard black hole ability seems to affect them, and for nearly as long. I might petition Blizzard for a change to affect elites, even with reduced effect, as it really diminishes the value of the skill without it.
The damage from the ability is nice, but costly and produces no effect from the rune for cc. Control is one of the reasons to take this ability on higher torments. If it doesn't affect elite packs, then why take it?
i agree with the fact that nobody should use this ability/rune if his goal is efficiency. I'm using it mostly because it gives me lots of fun, but also cans sometimes give me a safe escape or a nice control on horde packs (i play in hardcore).
I think i'l check and ask about the zero effect on elite on the french official forum. Feel free to do the same on the english one :).

The tooltip of falling sword/flurry says :
My question is : as ennemies inside the flurry were still able to attack, what does the incapacitating effect really does ?
I'm sorry if the question already has been answered somewhere, but i didn't find anything using the research tool :).
Thank you for your answers
