What is this "Flat Approach" profile used by PHI I am hearing about?

Why would one want to do a "Flat" approach?

Is not a steep approach with a slow forward airspeed with power carried throughout the approach better than a run in at speed and trying to time a flare type landing?

Where do we draw the line between a "Flat Approach" and "Hot Dogging" ?
