Currently 4p Malv (Head, Leg, Neck, Ring), others are Dreadful 1/1, T2 Elite 2/2 Agi/Caster. I'm in no way short of pressure department if I can stay on a target, main role in BGs is kicking into enemy support line and lockdown all their healers. (FoF, Leg Sweep, Paralysis one, Spear Hand Blanket the other and Touch of Karma the remaining one if I do get targeted) or sometimes called for a Gorefiend to Solar to Vortex to a FoF mass cleave.
Quick transportation of flag for TP, WSG (Slow fall Serpent Kick), Quick reclaimer for Kotmogu orbs, Near confirmed 1st flag steal for EotS or Interrupt EoTS Base flag cap, ninja strike force for Silvershard/Gilneas.
When I do pop my CDs and go on a healer it's either they CC the hell out of me or the healer will have to pop a CD or risk death. Key things about WW is that you need to know how and when to use ToK, when it is time to break off Healing Sphere, shift from DPS to using Chi Wave on CD to stay alive, force warlocks to Chaos Bolt you while you preamp using Diffuse Magic to waste their burst.
Most monks aren't versed with their toolset. Disarm for the opposing team DK, Healing Sphere if you're energy cap and chasing someone, Roll for snare, Tiger lust for roots or to prevent nova Deep Freeze. Spinning Fire Blossom on running targets, Spinning Fire Blossom for Mail+ targets (Not much that current once T2 Elite is available), nothing to heal energy cap use Jade Crackle Lightning to get chi, Jade Crackle Lightning to pushback melees off cliff. (It is the least expected pushback and I've laughed so many times when I defend LM and pushed people off cliff one so many time).
Will 5.2 be good? Hell yes, being given a PvP trinket effect allows us to to go double DPS trinket. Storm, Earth and Fire will be on debate cause as I read it, it does look like a DPS Beacon of Light, at most on a short CD to setup but most likely without. Doubt you could place 2 on a same target, but we may never know. Chi Wave will be great without Chi cost and not wasting that much more GCDs, Zen Sphere being a safety heal, Leg Sweep can GTFO as Rushing Ox will now sync with our FoF being dragged down to 30 seconds CD and can be lined up skillshot to stun all their healer or at least 2. Paralysis being 20 yards range physical? Hell yes!
Couple all this with monk being the new class where people's understanding towards them are still shallow. We can really shine. Many a game I've been in is where the opposing team took me lightly and paid the price.
All the above is in a RATED Battlegroup perspective as a WW Monk. In BG 9 - Bloodlust.
