We often use structural shapes in the most convenient way, but its not always the way they were intended to be used, I looked up the moments of inertia for your beam, putting the neutral axis through the flanges as you did and through the web, its about 12 times stiffer when loaded down the flanges.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
