Coming from Aether - Jenova,

Trying to figure out what I'm doing differently and wrong compared to the top melee DPS that average 150k-200k+ a match. Looking for any and all kinds of tips whether it is in regards to playing as a monk or just general info about Feast. I'm currently silver but I'm constantly losing. Not really upset much about losing the match but it's frustrating when I'm losing and I feel like I'm not learning anything or I'm not improving.

1. What should I be looking out for and what should I be doing?
2. Any certain situations where I need to focus on and apply certain abilities?
3. Should I save IR and BFB until one of my OGCDs go up for burst? Should I use them as soon as they go off of cool down?
4. Any tactics or certain movements I need to do in order to maximize DPS or avoid damage?
5. Strategies against certain comps or individual classes?
6. The use of more than 2 OGCDs in between rotations?
7. Is there a better opener?
