Monks very weak. Need rebalance

Not sure, but for one thing, I assumed since you are not in Opo stance at the beginning of PB you shouldn't DK until after the first SP at least. DK only applies debuff if used in Opo.

This was actually changed during Retail version. Not sure if right off the bat, or with one of the early patches.

DK debuff is in fact applied during PB. PB effectively removes any stance you have up, and acts as a sort of universal stance, at least as far as Dragon Kick's debuff is concerned. I have not tested other bonus effects actually.

That being said, I prefer getting to the GL3 buff first and foremost before I apply DK or TS.

MY PB opener is PB > SPx3 > DK > TS > PB wears off. Then I simply continue with DK > TS > Demo > ToD. If I have reason to not keep my rotation flank-only I will start with BS > TS > Deemo > ToD.
