I think the problem is that Flutter-Hulk is such a fan thing that the writers were in a quandry: How do they do it without too obviously referencing some fan-work on the subject? For what it's worth, I think they did a good job. The 'rage' version was exaggerated and near-parody but I think that this was the point to a certain degree. The entire episode was strewn with fanfic tropes. Like Daring Don't it really runs like a fanfiction that just somehow got bought by DHX and turned into an episode.

Regarding Fluttershy's transformation trigger? Remember The Best Night Ever and Putting Your Hoof Down: Fluttershy does have a reserve of anger and rage in her. Beware the nice ones and all that.
