The name "Flask" has always suggested "container" to me, and to me it always seemed more fitting that a Flask is something you keep in your inventory instead of something you consume.
Of course, the cost of these reuseable flasks would have to increase accordingly.

I can't say how much I like this idea, paying 10-20 times the original cost and having a flask for life would be such a better system simply because it alleviates the system of endless farming. You simply farm your flask mats once and are done with it forever, much like other crafting professions like tailoring and blacksmithing.
As for the cost, it would not have to be completely in herbs either, you could have an engineer create a Khorium vial, then have an enchanter enchant said vial, and then create the flask with say 100 Terocone/40 Mana Thistle/5 Lotus and create an Everlasting Flask of Assault or something to that effect.
The only problem I could foresee with this would be that it would pretty much be required for everyone in a raiding guild to have one of these made, but at this point people are pretty much required to have flasks for most encounters anyway so what is the difference.
