You can control ETTL manually. Flash exposure is controlled with FEC, and ambient exposure using M mode and adjusting shutter/Aperture/ISO.
This is a much easier method for weddings, parties, photojournalism, and other situations where the defining moment is fleeting. It is not a perfect system though, flipping from ETTL to manual flash output isn't exactly going to be an easier route to fix a weird exposure, or unexpected results.
That said, I know of no other way than manual output mode on the flash to get consistent results in a controlled setting.
