DMW-FL220 support burst shooting while flashing?

I've gotten into bird photography and have been trying the built-in flash on my GH2. It limits the shutter speed to 160 so it can't really help me much for freezing bird wings. I saw that Pani sells the DMW-Fl220 and that it supports TTL, which is supposed to be good but I can't see in the specs anywhere that it will continually fire away as I mash down on my remote shutter from the porch where I view the birds. I would like to set the shutter for 2600 or higher and be able to use that FL220 flash so that it fires away during burst mode. Anyone help me with this? Perhaps I need one of the other ones to do this: Panasonic DMW-FL360 or the Panasonic DMW-FL500.

This picture was taken with the built in flash so it was restricted to shutter 1/160sec. I'm hoping with the Fl220 that I can get up to 1/4000 with the flash flashing at least a few times.

Well, I got a $45 dollar flash from Amazon and no surprise there isn't a way to defeat the GH2's 1/160 shutter speed limit when used with a flash. I did some more reading and found a new/used Panasonic DMW-FL360 flash that has a FP TTL mode which, according to the manual here says that I should be able to set the shutter speed higher.
