I've ranted on the balance discord regarding Monk and agree with everything you've said. It feels as though the devs keep catering to bad monks that can't keep GL up. Which keeps the job in the stale limbo state as opposed to rewarding good play. Then again. SE caused this problem with TK where some players spam it on cooldown, blissfully unaware it is a dps loss to do so. Maybe we'll get decent changes halfway through the expansion; though I wish these problems that have persisted for years now weren't still prevalent.
