If you practice your timing you can actually maximize it's DPS potential. It's punishing if you can't master it, but it's not as painful as losing Blood of the Dragon or Greased Lightning mid rotation.

In that case, bring it on!
I know right?! I have no monk gear, so it will be interesting to get gear all over again.
