You could instead just
Uplift --> ReM --> Uplift --> ReM --> Uplift --> Uplift
so I don't really see how 4pc favors PS, or the point in deciding not to push your Uplift out sooner when it does less overheal. The advantage of PS is supposed to be that you can do this every 15s, but damage requiring several Uplifts in quick succession doesn't really come often enough to make good use of the Chi, and Power Strikes falls behind Chi Brew at like only 90% usage. Burst without cd's is always what can kill the raid. It also limits your rotational options, as others have said ("Oh, I don't want to EH or RJW because I have 3 chi"). I could go on, but whatever, honestly. No one seems to listen to me regarding this particular topic :P
The thing is that they're both so close that you basically need theorycraft to tell you which one is better, and theorycraft says "almost always Chi Brew" unless you're forced into gearing more Spirit than you can use, like in SoO or something. But people just continue to go with their gut feelings even though you can't even tell the difference on meters /shrug
