OP is irrelevant, I'd just start at the most recent posts or use the search thread thing to look for a specific term.

Highly recommended for those soon to be monks

Again, not a MNK expert here (yet?) but for maxing DPS on BRD, I found it very beneficial to check out actual discussions on gear/rotations so you don't just take one person's advice as gospel and kinda get the general consensus on the subject (something like multiple data points if you want to get fancy with it). Not to say that Mrhappy's guide is totally wrong or anything, but it's always nice to understand WHY you use certain skills/gear at certain times so that you can better prioritize them on the fly in a non-ideal scenario (for instance having to move around like crazy during Titan EX). So yeah, I found this, hope it's at least somewhat helpful:

Found this direct damage formula(8 WD 1 STR .32 Det .17 Crit .15 Sk.Spd) that I will check out when I get home. There is also a calculator linked in there too.http://www.wutaicompany.com/reddit/20ouzy/Monk%20stat%20question(s)
