    Pounce > Demolish > Howling Fist
    Invigorate > Spinning Heel is kind of a waste of TP generation. Unless you're missing, you should almost always cap out at 3000 TP before Spinning Heel is finished, and then you just end up wasting TP generation. If you use weaponskills to alleviate that, you're still missing out on valuable spinning heel up time.

    I always save Spinning Heel for when my major CDs are up. Secondly, waiting for a second Howling Fist after your first is a waste of time. Simian Thrash should be put on CD after your first buffed howling fist. By the time Howling Fist will be back up, you'll have enough TP to chain the combo. Sitting around waiting for timers to be up is a huge waste of DPS. Need to keep things on a cooldown. Then again, this is just how I run. To each their own.

    Nitpicking aside, I personally run with the following on Miser.

    Invigorate at the start, along with Nerve drops (as we lack a heavy DL tank at the moment). Shoulder tackle in.

    Pounce > Demolish > Fully buffed Howling Fist.
    Pummel > Concussive Blow > Simian Thrash
    Pounce > Demolish > Howling Fist
    Pounce > Sucker Punch > Dragon Kick
    Spinning Heel

    Rinse repeat-ish. Parses 110~140 on Miser in entry level gear.

    a lot of the stuff you said doesn't really make sense unless you're running without a battle voiced paeon. and while i guess without a battle voiced paeon that might be good advice- i'd be forced to wonder why you're running a mnk/melee burn strategy without a battle voiced paeon in the first place.
