I don't think Dash will ever grow out of her pride. It's kind of her main vice, and without it, she might be seen as boring and one note.

As for her brashness, this is depending on the writer, as Rainbow can say some really nice things at times but not so nice things at others. And the fact that every other pony is flawed really makes them interesting characters. Celestia for example was originally thought to be "perfect" but now that we know that isn't the case, she's a lot more interesting. However, a character with too many flaws can also be a result of bad writing, as writing Fluttershy as nasty (Putting Your Hoof Down) when she has plenty of other flaws is vindictive of bad writing if you ask me. I do like the idea of Fluttershy standing up for herself but bluntly stating Rainbow Dash is going to lose her pet after the fact, and not even before she tried to blow up the weather factory and reverse winter, is part of the reason why Tanks for the Memories isn't my favourite Rainbow Dash episode, among other issues.
