Unless you know a disconnect is coming and you need Twin for a Demo/Snap coming up, I would say always alternate, even if it means the damage falling off. You lose roughly 1.4% dps (less than that actually, but i'm lazy) and gain quite a bit of efficiency.

You gain 3% absolute efficiency, but keep in mind TP drain is coming off of margins, so it is closer to something like 20-30% slower TP drain. It makes a huge difference, esp with the amount of relative SS monks have with GL3.
I don't have TP issues in any instance I can recall that isn't resolved by cutting ID and Fracture from my rotation. So yea, I don't see myself risking the loss of a +10% damage buff, even briefly, for further Tp efficiency. If I ever come across a situation where even after dropping ID, Fracture and ToD I still have TP issues, then I will work True Strike into my rotation.

My overall point is, a lot of MNKs underperform when it is in fact quite simple to put out solid DPS on MNK by just sticking to the flank bread and butter combo. So many MNKs take theorycrafted advice, try to pull off a rather complex rotation sequence that isn't necessarily set in stone, since a lot of it has to be played by ear during content, and end up losing GL, Twin Snakes, Dragon Kick, etc and resulting in worse DPS than if they had just used the 3 main skills back to back.

People need to take it one step at a time and realize that theorycrafting is a means to obtain better performance in content, not a universal recipe.
