How flexible is the basic Monk rotation?

Are you doing Demolish every time you do Boot+True (your post makes it sound that way)? If so you should only refresh Demolish when it's 4/< seconds left when you're in Coeurl form. Apologies if you know that, hope it doesn't come across patronising, but again post kinda makes it sound like you're going flank flank flank rear rear rear flankx3 rearx3 etc.

And, well, that's the gist of it. As long as you don't have to disengage from an enemy, you simply alternate between dk/boot for Opo form and twin/true for raptor form, snap for coeurl unless demo needs refreshing - and Touch at 3/< seconds. OGCDs whenever available.

To answer the main question, it's not that flexible in the sense that what you do in each form is very much set in stone to get the best results. Something that can lead to a minor boost though is tacking on Fracture if it gets to a point where you're in Coeurl form and Demolish is at an awkward 4-5 seconds. Because you'd otherwise clip or let it drop by using snap (slight loss), can draw it out by using Fracture before Demolish refresh. Though if Touch is at refresh time at that point you should do that instead before Demo.

DPS sounds kinda normal for 170ish gear, maybe less. Not sure what you have.
