Personally I just want to see GL apply from Wind Tackle itself, rather than Riddle of Wind. Standardize Shoulder Tackle variants' damage at 130 each, or perhaps 140 for Flame Tackle. Change Riddle of Wind to allow a second dash from Fists of Wind without stun or damage for 10 seconds after using any Shoulder Tackle variant. That way you don't need to pop 4 oGCDs for every TK (TK-FoW-WT-RoW). Also, let Earth Tackle knock self back if the enemy can't be moved, to give it at least some usefulness.
My own personal experience is that the TK every 30 seconds (they're swapping stances to use Riddle of Wind instead of Fire Tackle) is that the DPS increase is only marginal. Yes it's something you want to do if your latency is low enough and getting that minor buff over other monks is important to you, but it's not a massive increase. This is at least from my own attempts to do the same thing. Regardless, if Perfect Balance immediately gave you 3 GL stacks, then there's no need to swap stances to Fists of Wind in order to use Tornado Kick on a regular basis.
