The Monk Rework is a bit overkill

did you account for the 5% faster recast? and the 5% faster auto attack?

It's not 5% faster. Previous monk was getting 5% buff for each stack of greased lightning, which was 4 stacks. New monk gives that same speed buff as a passive trait, meaning things are unchanged in that regard. Also regarding your other post, Six Sided Star won't be getting more liberal use than before. It's still a move used on global cooldown and it still resets the cooldown timer for all our other skills to cooldown 5 seconds. It's still intended to be used as a disconnect skill, but there's still the possibility that meditating during disconnect is better than using six sided star.

Current math has 5.4 Monk coming out about 300 DPS behind 5.3 Monk when you consider nerfed auto attacks. The real question will be if Brotherhood affecting all damage will make that up and then some considering every Melee other than Samurai got a DPS buff.

So no, it's not an increase, it's potentially a loss.

There's also the possibility that the job will be buffed not just from the expansion of chakras gained from Brotherhood now extending to casters, but also that chakras gained from our own critical hits is now 100% chance. So we'll likely be using Forbidden Chakra much more often. But agree, we'll have to wait and see if that makes up for the loss to auto attacks.
