disregard a lot of the things people say about monk. 2.0 monk and 3.0 monk are all about 2 different things.

3.0 monk is about maximizing your downtime - be it chakras or keeping GL stacks. In some cases, you will not be able to keep stacks - in that case, stack up chakras. Any time you need to leave the boss for whatever reason, use chakra if it's possible to keep greased - even if you only get 1 stack of it. More chakra is more damage eventually if you don't drop stacks during short downtimes.

other htan that it's what lilyth said, use oGCD's when the ycome up, use cooldowns as they come up, holy IR/B4B to use together when potion is up (this usualyl is only about 20 seconds maximimum), etc.
