http://ffxivrotations.com/11k8 Crutch = Sprint

This is the opener I've been using to great success (even with having 120 ping). It's beneficial to go to The Balance discord server and check the pins (I believe the opener I'm using is slightly outdated).

I use Sprint instead of ST at the start because you're not getting very much benefit from doing it so early, You'll get better benefit if you use it while your buffs are active (if it Direct Crits, it's hella great damage). The Forbidden Chakra is the same way. You'll NEVER want to use it without Blunt Resist down on the target and Twin Snakes on yourself, if your IR and/or RoF are ~10 seconds from coming off CD then hold TFC until they become active

As for gear, what you will want is about 1.2-1.3k SkS, then Crit > DH. Meld SkS if needed. http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/11YCX This is my current goal (credit for this set goes to Tiff on The Balance discord server)

Also: Uptime Uptime Uptime. If you want to raise your DPS, make sure you're always getting your GCDs rolling. Give this video a watch when you have the time
