Monk Needs a Complete Rework

You're right. I didn't even think there is no reason to wait on all your cooldowns. Start the fight with huge burst. You want to do PB after the first DK. It will already have leaden fist from previous combo so there is no reason to include it in PB. It will also end PB on a DK giving an extra Leaden. Depending on animation and latency, it might also be ideal to do SSS before TK/Buffs.

I don't think is a good idea to do SSS before TK/Buffs. Since , unless i am wrong, SSS still extends WS cool down, and because PB seems to be a bit ping free now, MNK doesnt really need high SKS. I could be wrong but this also means SSS is just as niche as before because of the slowdown, now you are just fast after it (Also is SSS still attached to GCD? if so then its the same skill, just a bit more greed friendly, if not its a lot more greed friendly).

I'm no expert on MNK by any means, but I'm pretty certain we'll still need to meld just a little SkS to achieve double True Strike with minimal potency loss but honestly, I'd rather worry about that than the headache that was 6 Opo-opo PB. In any case the rotation will remain largely the same except our PB bursts will be more lenient. The opener however will pretty much be what MNK already does in dungeons when it has full stacks ...plus TK I guess.

Other than that you're still spot on about SSS. As long as there's that pesky recast timer on all WS it'll still always be just a disconnect tool and nothing else.

Interesting, i think i read in the discord that we only need like 1.96 or 1.97 GCD to be able to double true. In fact i just read Aya's live letter patch notes and it says that, so i guess some SKS is still a need, just very litlle.

And about SSS that recats timer makes it a really gimicky disconect, because there must be a longer than 2 sec disconect in order for it to be worth it. Assuming that it remains the same.
