Changes to Meditation, Tornado Kick, and Other Actions for 5.0 Monk

Pre-4.2 that might have been the case, but I just don't see it that way now. You clearly want to be in FoW most of the time, but if you want to end a burst window with a big attack, you switch to FoF before doing a 6SS+TK combo (since buffs are multiplicative), then stay in FoF as you build back up to GL4 (mind you, this is only something you'll do if you have Anatman off CD). And then there's FoE for panic situations and while not ideal, they do happen.

I can see them being pointless if you never try and use 6SS+TK mid-combat, but it's a very different story if you do.

Doing Six Sided Star and Tornado Kick mid combat is also a damage loss.
