Yes, some type of diffuser is a given. I use a little plastic box-type thing (made by Sto-fen but in white, not colored http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&; Q=&sku=205239&is=REG) that sits on the heads of my flash to soften the light. I've put one on each of my flashes and never take it off...I use it inside, outside, wedding, kids, pets, no matter what it never comes off. I point my light at a 45ish degree angle and let 'er rip. What I like about this brand is that it is a slide on deal...no velcro, rubber bands, etc and the thing is stout...doesn't flop around and seem as if it might fall off.
