DPS
Well the title says it all. I have read a lot of threads about the subject, but I can't seem to put my finger on the low numbers I have been putting out as of late. Since my server transfer I seem to have lost around 1k in damage. My old guild did around 40k raid wide (i was 7% of dps around 4k), while my new guild does 70-80k ( I am 4% of dps around 3-3.5k) and I can't seem to keep up with the burst damage when crane flock is down. I am currently only doing 3-4% of the guild dps.
I have tried timing ca's on act, timing them by watching my combat channel as well as spamming ca's, everything short of just queueing them up. I mean you can only push buttons so fast.
I also miss A LOT with my autoattack. I'm only hitting around 72% in vp and 85% in other zones. It seems that there is just something that i am missing or that is not clicking right and for the life of me I can't figure it out.
My dps gear unfortunately is not all that great, mostly t1 and t2 stuff. Nothing really worth mentioning just your standard non-vp/instanced gear.
I currently dw my epic (fabled version) and nightmare wraps.
Here are my stats solo:
str 877, agi 460, sta 640,int 123, wis 286
dps 24, haste 119, crit 51, dblattk 10
Crushing skill is at 493 solo as well
I usually have buffs from only a troub or a dirge. If I have the dirge I put a dbleattk temp adorn on both weapons (adds 6% dbleattk), if the troub I use 2 dps adorns (adds 30dps mod). And I go through the 4% crit potions like candy.

Dispatch goes off usually right before 5 rings and then after the cycle I just hit whats up.
My offensive stance is master.
So essentially I am just having a hard time adjusting to the new pace of things dying in 30 sec as apposed to 2 min. So if anyone has any ideas on what I could do to be a better monk in the following areas it would be greatly appreciated.
Burst damage when crane flock is down.
Timing or spaming ca's more effectively.
Increasing autoattack hit ratio.
Increasing overall dps
More consistant dps
