I use a different way for the monk rotation. I use the positionals (even the removed one) and play at a rythm of positionals. With this i don't need to watch the enemy debuff and my buff bar. I can just ignore them. With this it was for me more easy to follow the rotation. Here an example with the rythm:

side side rear
rear rear side
side side side
rear rear rear
side side side
rear rear side

Without this was i could not play the monk since watching 4 bars (my skillbar for oGCDs), the job gauge (to see when i have 4 chakras), my buff bar and the enemy debuff bar is too much for me.
