DPS best practices

[Darkstride]

First off I'd like to say thank you to everyone for the responses, this has helped quite a bit to better understand my role.

Second I came across a couple other questions I had while running Haukke manor.

1) As a monk I have a DOT that comes at the end of my rotation, offering greased lightning. I also have a DOT that I can use as part of the GDC without breaking the rotation. Should I be applying the one that doesn't break the GDC first? or the one that comes at the end of my Monk Rotation?

2) Does the rear of a monster count as a flank?

Rear is rear. Flank is to the left or right side of the rear position.





Not my images, just what Google gave me with a quick search. But you get the point.
