I don't want to go over your logs and I appreciate the effort you put into making the rotation, but despite the guide, the DPS it puts out is within thousands lower than what should be expected in a fight from a MNK.

To give a comparison however, in your deathless Titania ex fight, you did roughly 9.1k using your rotation, whereas Monk in full i430 gear should have been able to do around 10.5k~ So while you may think it's high risk high reward, it comes across as high risk and no reward.
Funny story, I was at first going to include my logs, but then decided against it because I felt it'd hurt my credibility. Thing is, I hadn't actually perfected the rotation and were using those runs to do so. The first edits of the guide were after someone had given me numbers on a simulation, one that removed all variables like crit and dh (excluding bootshine) and after tweaking it slightly during the conversation, listing what all the GCDs would be up until the first 4m and 20secs, the fall-off damage became the same with the main difference being the opener, which is why I concluded that it was high risk, high reward rotation. Even after that, I managed to tweak it even further to squeeze out every bit of damage possible, which resulted in discovering the new All-Rounder opener (and replacing the old opener I used when listing GCDs in the simulation).

In the end, however, I won't deny that until I go back into Titania and Innocence using the rotation I've written down, or unless more people with high parses pop up who actually try it out themselves, it does lack the credibility to make people take it seriously. All I can say is to try it at your leisure if spamming the usual 1-2-3 rotation starts to get dull.
