The purpose of this thread is for the community to provide feedback on YOUR raiding experience and to offer tips for fellow monks.
Preface
I cleared 4/6 Mogu'Shan-25 on my WW monk last night. My other WW monk buddy (who I leveled with) and I were consistently in the top 5 dps. On one fight, we were in 1st and 2nd place. I raid in a US top 200 guild. My Armory***
Tips/Suggestions
I believe learning to play a WW monk in a raiding environment has a large learning curve because of a few reasons;
1) Mobility - Yes, I know it seems strange to mention this, but the fact we have a LOT of mobility doesn't mean every monk will use it properly. Overshooting your roll past a boss, or using your Flying Serpent Kick too early on Feng The Accursed can spell disaster.
2) GCD Lock - The WW monk rotation in a raid situation is extremely active. Having to keep up buffs and short cooldowns such as Tiger Power x3, RSK, Tigers Eye Brew, Energizing brew, and making sure you aren't energy caped all the while avoiding raid mechanics can be intense. You will be GCD locked. This means that every second you will have something important to press with little to no time to think especially when fire is under your butt. Really, the only way to help solve this issue is to understand your rotation inside and out. Mihir's guide is the best WW monk guide on the internet hands down, so go give it a read!
Final Thoughts
Windwalkers have a lot of design flaws that I feel need addressing. Our expensive interrupt without a glyph option, FoF root for a mobility designed class/spec, and lack of raid utility are critical, however as of now, I thoroughly enjoy the playstyle of the windwalker and look forward to seeing more raid content in the future
*** I mention damage rankings because I feel the overall opinion of windwalker monks in the raiding community is VERY low. Most of this is due to the fact that, while monks have almost zero raid utility (buffs/raid CD's), their simed damage is middle of the pack making them less then ideal to choose over, say, a feral druid. I would also like to point out Blizzard has said the current sims are inaccurate.
