Install it yourself?
FTB doesn't have permission by the author of Optifine, so I can't include it anyway.

The team cannot package it with the official packs. That is not the same as you aren't allowed to install it yourself. It is perfectly fine to add any mod you want to your individual game pack.

Also, FTB does have permission, they just haven't been able to meet the terms, which requires something like a download straight from the site. No mirroring allowed. FTB mirrors the mod files so mod authors sites don't get hit with the traffic, plus this allows FTB to control the files. If a mod authors site goes down for any reason, FTB can still operate. Plus, if there IS a problem, they can fix it themselves.

Well if they can't meet the terms of the agreement to include in the mod pack than no they don't have permission currently, hence the mod not being included.
That is neither here nor there, currently it is not packed so install it yourself
None of us are the mod packers. Also, they are already in direct contact with the author, and are trying to work out a solution.
Did you add optifine to the jar mods section? It's not a forge mod.
You need to place the zip archive in MODPACKNAME/instMods where the MinecraftForge.zip archive is located. Then make sure you actually restart Minecraft to see the effects.
Also, make sure you're using the 1.4.2 version and don't use the multi-core feature.
It's not a good idea to add it to every directory. You just have to add it to the same directory where the Forge archive is located and you're good to go. Ultimately you can do whatever you want, but being sloppy about managing things like that only tends to lead to more problems down the line.
No, it doesn't because Optifine is worthless. The only thing it's good at is causing mass flickering and constant corrupted textures.
Optifine is neither terrible nor good. It is an alternative, a resource which may or may not save someone from terrible performance. It ruins appearances for some people (usually that's due to specific features that can be fixed or turned off though...), or even ruin performance for some, but that doesn't mean Optifine is a detriment to everyone. For some, it manages to turn the game from completely unplayable to playable, or even grants great performance. For the same reason I think it shouldn't be included in the pack by default, it shouldn't be called worthless either.
OptiFine is working without issue for me under most circumstances. Flopping around to one MystCraft age after another can cause a slow degradation of textures leading to a crash, but for normal use the main thing is to just make absolutely certain the multi-core chunk loading is turned off and hope it's fixed for a future version.
Sounds like you need to preview this thread... http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/optifine-crash.3130/#post-36465
Seeing as I'm using 1.4.2, my statement stands. Every single "ultra" version has the issues I listed and the standard doesn't work as it crashes upon loading the level or if by chance the game actually loads the save it crashes upon loading new chunks. The light version is worthless to me as it doesn't have HD texture support. I also tried disabling threaded optimization in the Nvidia CP and that of course to no surprise did nothing to stop optifails issues. Every single time I've tried using it on previous versions on both my desktop and laptop its done the exact same things.
Would be nice to be able to use the superior MCPatcher but apparently that doesn't work with this modpack.
