Anyone have burst rotations? I'm having trouble landing kills on my monk. I usually try to stun around half hp and pop enliven/perfect balance and just snap punch into a mercy stroke. I don't have lots of pvp experience with monk. So I assume I'm missing something here. Thanks for reading.

Well, common sense would be to get GL3, Dragon Kick and Twin snakes up, then hit ALL the buttons! - Forbidden Chakra, Elixir Field, Howling Fist, Summersault (And enliven these days?). I'd personally also try doing a Tornado Kick followed by Axe kick for a bit of extra burst without loss of GL3. But whether that's a good idea...debatable.
Not sure why you'd want to snap punch exclusively - consider than True Strike has a higher potency in all cases. It's probably better. -

Monk is not really a burstclass anyway, other can do better. That might be a reason why you are getting less kills even if you maybe did the most damage.
Most monks stay fists of earth the whole fight... maybe they get focussed at start but after that it is a dps los. Try switching the fists midfight, passive speed may be even more interesting now that we lost the weapon throw. Do not forget about one ilm punch and the silence. If you have time to kill a tank, removing his buffs with perfectbalance one ilm punches makes them rage. -
