Until one thinks they are entirely proficient with MNK so that they feel that doing the rotations and reacting to mechanics properly is second nature to them, I would highly recommend against using Fracture at all.

It is theoretically a slight DPS increase (and I mean somewhere in the realm of 3%) in return for not only an increased TP drain but very real risks of losing essential buffs.

Fact of the matter is for many novice MNKs it ends up reducing their DPS considerably because they mistime it and lose Twin Snakes uptime, or even Greased Lightning stacks.
