The only realistic way out of this mess I can see that's feasible in the short time-frame before Savage is that they revert to EW Monk, keep the 10 chakra gauge, and convert the Replies into weavable CDs. The extra cap on chakra could help with single-weaving window issues that having two extra CDs to weave might cause (follow up actions are an actual blight on job design, I swear to god) but if it gets chronic then they could revive a tweaked version of the slowdown on RoF from SB to enable double-weaving during burst windows (with whatever needs tweaked to make up for a missing GCD or two under burst, like higher % on the RoF damage buff or adding the missing potency onto Fire's Reply; former would be better for lower level caps though).

What they'll probably actually do is just stick form requirement on DK, buff the AOE potencies, and call it a day. I don't know if the team that handles jobs + content balancing is stretched too thin and maybe making mistakes, or if they've fallen victim to prioritising ease of development over the player's experience, but I don't expect much at this point. I played monk since 2.0 and did every raid tier + ultimate since Alex Creator with it so I'm no stranger to the many design flaws that Monk has had over the years in its many iterations but this DT Monk feels like poison to play. I did the two new EX trials with it and it's completely missing its core; it lost a lot of its pillars over the years, and Twin + Demo were the last ones it seems like.
