I too use Axure to prototype, but not as much for its interaction but rather for the ability to easily create functional specs. To that point, I find it very powerful for our development teams understanding of my thoughts, but not as important for discussions with the client.
Like William, I think that the lower fidelity the prototype the greater the communication and understanding through that communication with the client. In my experience the most valuable tool is the idea and your ability to convey it verbally, not Axure, not Flash, AJAX, Rails, or a #2 pencil and napkin. With a good idea, a whiteboard, and a involved client you should be able to go straight to wireframes and prototyping. Less than 50% of the time do I need to show my clients wireframes at all if we've had the proper up front time. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
