MNK rotations post-50

1. Flank: ToD -> DK-> TwS -> SP :GLx1
2. Flank: DK-> TwS -> IR(if up)-> DM -> Frac :GLx2
3. Rear: BS -> IDx2 Side: TwS -> SP -> ToD :Glx3
4. Repeat 2 and 3

Now how you use PB is up to you. I recomment using it to get GL3 up quickly (SPx3, DK, TS). I also dont address Steel peak and Howling punch. I just use those everytime they come off of cooldown since they arent on the GCD.

I also dont use TS yet, since I tank more than monk, I havent perfected it all yet. But with this rotation You can do well in most situations.

Can you explain to me why you throw in a random bootshine on your GL3 buildup? Other than that your opener looks good. Learning monk needed clarification.

Me, I make things simple:

Round I: (Flank) Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Demolish (GL)
Round II: (Flank) Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Snap Punch (GL II) > Touch of Death
Round III: (Back) Bootshine > True Strike > Demolish (GL III)
From here, I alternate between Round II and Round III, throwing down Touch of Death on ever second Demolish. Also, I will drop the DoTs once the mob hits past 20%, unless it is a really tough mob to bring down (Like HM Primals, etc.)

This is simple because it uses all side then all back, to great effect! And Demolish is a great transition move to go from back to the side.

I will ALSO change, once I get Greased Lightning III up, and do this after I throw down a Demolish:
Internal Release > Blood for Blood > Dragon Kick > Steal Peak (off GCD, wait 1s) > Twin Snakes > Howling Fist (off GCD, wait 1s) > Snap Fist > Bootshine >True Strike > Snap Fist > Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > True Strike

Finally, for mobs of three+ I use:

Fist of the Destroyer > Twin Snakes > Rockbreaker > Perfect Balance > Rockbreaker > Steel Peak (off GCD) > Rockbreaker > Howling Fist (off GCD) Rockbreaker > Rockbreaker
This also works better if you can do Internal Release and Blood for Blood on the first Rockbreaker.

From there I just pick off the mobs as I would normally. Or if they have a lot of HP left I would just go

Fist of the Destroyer > Twin Snakes > Rockbreaker, and be mindful of my TP

my non-perfect balance opener
ToD
DK --> TS --> Dem
DK --> TS --> SP
BS --> True --> SP

My perfect balance opener
DK --> Snapx3 --> DK
DK --> TS > (b4b) --> Demolish --> (IR) --> Fracture --> (howling) --> ToD --> (steel)
some like using PB for a Snapx5 burst. Personally, I outweigh that with being at my maximum (sustained) damage output within 4 skills vs 10 skills. the time it saves me allows me to hit my CDs sooner and thus have them back sooner.

from there, i have my "maintenance rotation"
DK --> TS --> SP
BS --> True --> SP
DK --> TS --> Dem --> Fracture --> Touch of death [every other rotation]

my maintenance rotation starts reapplying demolish+fracture right as the former demolish finishes ticking. there's still a gap between when i apply my next touch of death that i'm trying to work out.
