Flying Serpent Kick is helpful as long as the target does not expect it and runs from you in a straight line. Tiger's Lust is helpful, but it either needs to have its cooldown lowered or make you immune to movement impairs for the duration.
The other issue I'm having right now is that I frequently have to use all of my Chi just to survive. Monk survivability is very high right now thanks to Zen Sphere (too high) but when I finally catch up long enough to get a jab or two off, I find that I have to immediately use that Chi to heal myself rather than do any significant damage before they disengage, blink, fear, thunderstorm, etc. I would have loved to see the Black/White Chi stay in for this very reason. Instead of generating 2 Chi you would generate 2 Black and 2 White(in Tiger Stance.) The White could be used for survival abilities such as Zen Sphere, Tiger's Lust, Guard, and Touch of Karma and the Black could be used for all your offensive abilities. Then both defensive abilities and offensive abilities could be balanced separately without forcing Monks to (consistently) sacrifice one for the other.
Also, what is the plan with Blackout Kick for Windwalker? Right now it does no where near enough damage to warrant using it over Tiger's Palm.
