Kim: "I'm looking for tools I can use to quickly push out interface concepts for feedback."
I would ask myself in this position, what am I looking for feedback on? Presentation layer interaction or user's workflow? If you're still focused on workflow I feel there are better mediums to communicate the design intention than an interactive mockup. Wireflows might suit your needs as a way to communicate intended workflows & interaction concepts to remote users http://wireframes.linowski.ca/2009/08/mixed-scale-wireflow/ If you're happy that you understand the user's workflow and want to ensure they can interact with the system 'intuitively' then be aware of the limitations of presenting interactive concepts which are out of context of the larger system and/or have incomplete workflow paths. If what you present to them looks like 99% real deal and they hit a weird limitation of your mockup medium - the 'suspension of disbelief' game is blown along with the value of any feedback. Ideally you would be able to communicate design intent with the user and walk them through concepts. As you do not have this luxury I would say that if I was in your shoes I'd make a call on how much effort I would be willing to put in to my mockup to get over what I describe as the uncanny valley of prototypes: a level of fidelity that is neither sketchy enough for suspension of disbelief or complete enough to be realistic.
