Once again, the loss of Greased Lightning means a grueling 9 GCD slow recovery, where you cannot use any off globals because of their lost potency.

The other thing is that other classes combos got an extra 5 seconds added on....it seems that didn't apply to monk stances :/ That missed Snap is back to plod plod plod no Greased Lightning again.

I highly, highly, regret leveling this first through the MSQ.

There's no use saying "wait til 80" because there are no other skills that grant GL aside from Anatman, which you can't use while moving.

Savage content might be bearable but man I am missing those GL recoveries from Stormblood in casual content.

Edit: To be honest, I feel like we're all tired of fighting the good fight for a good Monk rotation. I certainly am. Maybe after 6 years it's actually time to just move on and main something else.
It's really off at 70, but it probably gets better once you get anatman. Even though I say better, I feel it will mostly feel equal or be slightly worse than how it felt before.

the 120 cool down sucks, the loss of increased crit rate and crit rate nerfs makes chakra a lot slower to fill, less ogcds for riddle (as you said).

basically, seems like a rebalance, but you have to earn back the skills you lost, and hope that the rebalance feels good after.
