    Don't really see the need for Demolish in there since the changes to the move in 2.1.

    Also, my MNK has pretty average gear and SS but I can always get 5 hits in after PB, since 2.1 i've been using DK > TwS > SP > SP > SP.

    Demolish's damage over time would be increased from the stacks of Greased Lightning.

    The better choice between the two listed in the OP would be Dragon Kick > Snap Punch > Snap Punch > Demolish. Dragon Kick requires Opo-opo form to get the bonus, which would require three more GCD after Perfect Balance (which gives no forms, for whatever reason), whereas Twin Snakes would only require one GCD. However, I'm not exactly sure how DoT damage is calculated in the case of Demolish (is Demolish's DoT "Blunt" damage, or simply "DoT" damage?), so the Twin Snakes benefit to Demolish may or may not be worth losing out on the Blunt Resistance for three GCD.

    Sadly because of the long animation delay of Demolish, the attack sometimes fails to complete if you use it as the fifth move during Perfect Balance. Depending on your gear (and/or luck of the asinine global enfeeble/buff timer), it's possible to land Twin Snakes > Dragon Kick > Snap Punch > Snap Punch > Demolish, but you may be better off switching the last two skills around to guarantee the Demolish.

    Bleh, haven't paid enough attention to my MNK skills and rotation since 2.1 dropped. Didn't even know it dropped a DoT :/

    I guess DK > TwS > SP > SP > Demolish would be ideal for me.
