I feel as though Meditate might be the bane of Monks if a lot of Monks start doing this. It is a 100% DPS loss. You are losing DPS if you can do any weaponskill and instead hit Meditate, only use Meditate when you are unable to hit a monster, otherwise it is a DPS loss.

If you need me to explain why, I can and will do so, just let me know.

Edit: I wonder if someone has done the math of Tornado Kick > PB to see if that is a DPS increase. I have a feeling it is, especially if DK/TS and Demo are up.
Exactly. Losing out on 1 tick of Demo is 40 potency... That's not worth waiting for.

I think someone did some math on Tornado Kick in Reddit, and that person got an increase of potency by using TK without PB even, if used at the right time... Not sure if that is really the case, but if you're using PB, then it certainly is a DPS boost. Don't think we're talking anything huge here though, which is kinda the problem I have with this new potency instead of 500...
