Monks got a lot of DPS improvements from heavensward and the following patches so far.

Demolish Duration Increase. Shoulder Tackle fix. Elixer Drive. Forbidden Chakra. Purification. GL duration increase. 3% Dmg buff. Tornado Kick.

I think we got a lot more stuff than many other classes.

Just to put in perspective about how good Shoulder Tackle is, notice how Howling Fist is 170 Potency every Minute, Shoulder Tackle is 100 Potency every 30 Seconds. You can treat the shoulder tackle the same as them buffing Howling Fist to 370 Potency every Minute. I personally think that's just.. just so swell.
