Monk new abilities talk, kind of discussion, thoughts so far?

Here is the thing after some thought, MNK in its burst window is hitting pretty fucking hard, around 75% extra potency (40% from either GL4 or Fof, 30% from RoF and an extra 5% from BH) so in that window BS Goes from 290 to 507 non crit and every other skill around the same (This is kind of a lie since ideally you are always under either GL4 or Fof so its more of a 10% extra increase from CURRENT MNK if am being honest but hey 75% sounds nice,no?) and there is SSS (Six-sided Star) here is the thing, it is a weaponskill that means it scales with our Sks so at base with just the 20% from GL4 it goes down to 3.9 sec still pretty high but if we add ours gear Sks, well we are looking at a very different number and while yes it will still be most likely slower than a normal GCD, consider this in current content average MNK GL3 GCD is about 2.04 sec if it ends up in that same area its not that bad...maybe. it also depends on FC procs so being super optimistic in a normal Full rotation (so 6 GCD) we could theoretically use it once, making it a Dps gain over A 60 sec HF, again super optimistic. In an 8 man the opener would be pretty neat, if RNG is on your side (and party comp is optimal).

I'm not trying to imply monks need more dmg. I'm suggesting that the tornado kick as it exists is uninteresting and that currently monks build to a plateau with greased lightning and stay there. we should want to and be incentivized to expend that build up to start over again. But we don't we just do the same thing over and over. Now we have less to do then we did before. We will do our positional dance and we will use elixir field and forbidden chakra maybe we will six sided star from time to time and anatman for phase changes but that's it. It doesn't go anywhere. I have felt like the job was missing the natural end of the rotation for a long time. I thought it would be tornado kick when heavensward came out but it wasn't. This feels like more of the same to me. We have alot of tools but it doesn't go anywhere it just exists.
