As a mnk you have to use bootshine. You are giving up a ton of dps if you aren't. Don't oversimplify a job because you find it complicated. Seek to learn it properly.

Heres advice: 95% of your time is spent on the mobs flank. When you go to use bootshine or ts on rear, it should be one motion. By the time the animation is done you should be back at the flank. Make it one fluid move from flank to rear to flank. You don't have to come to a dead stop to use those rear skills.
