It is actually painful for me to keep my opinions to myself! LMAO!
From what I've observed, how well things flow and keep going at a good pace has a lot to do with the experience level of the hostess and participants. Also, of course, on the personality of the hosts/hostess(es).
If the person or people hosting are either inexperienced or not very outgoing, things could start slowly and perhaps awkwardly. Likewise if most of the men are inexperienced and/or hesitant and a little shy, there will definitely be some hemming and hawing at first.

My first feeling about it is no way. I really think it would be very uncomfortable with a bunch of other naked dudes all banging one chick. Plus I think I would feel a little neglected because I'm thinking there would be times when I would be just standing around right?
If this is a one-woman gangbang (hey, sometimes a few women get together and have more of a party atmosphere) then this depends on how many men show up and her personal limits/preferences.
One lady's idea of a gangbang could be just a couple of guys at a time, with everyone waiting, and then taking, their turns. Some ladies take on 4, 5, or even 6 at a time. This will also depend on how comfortable the guys are standing (or kneeling) hip-to-hip with other naked guys, of course.

So how did it go for those who have done one? Was it awkward at all? How much interaction is there between the dudes(and I don't mean sexually)? Is it pretty much free for all, or do you have to take turns or something?
Several years ago, I went through a rather sexually-adventurous phase and tried it twice. So I'm not exactly a gangbang-veteran, but will share what I experienced and learned.
The first time, a good friend of mine and I played co-hostesses together. Neither of us had tried it.
Because we were newbies to it, we mostly invited men who were new to it too.
I think this was the main factor that led to a slow start and a lot of awkwardness. All of the guys were talking and socializing like it was just any party at first, and it took she and I getting it on with each other to get the ball rolling....
First her S.O. joined in, then another guy.... then it really just snowballed from there. She wound up deciding her comfort level was just 2 at a time. I am more of "in for a penny, in for a pound" type and if I'm gonna do something.... I'm gonna really go for it! So I had 3 or 4 (no, I didn't do DP or DVP just use your imagination!) for most of the time.
A couple of guys weren't into it and left. A couple more decided they didn't want their junk that close to another guy's and waited till everyone else had left to get one-on-one time. Most of the time, there was plenty of conversation going back-and-forth between the guys who weren't participating at the moment. It mostly sounded like normal party chit-chat.
The second time, most of the male guests had quite a bit of experience at GBs and so did my co-hostess. She was very outgoing and got things off to a smoking-hot start within minutes of everyone's arrival. This seemed to be the critical factor: everything jumped off on a very good note, and stayed fast-paced and steamy until she and I wore ourselves out.
I honestly couldn't tell you how much conversing was or wasn't going on that time... but with the majority of people knowing the standard etiquette it was a lot easier and smoother going which kept me focused on having fun. And I did. 
Feel free to PM me with any other general questions or curiosity you may have about the female point-of-view and I'll be happy to answer.
