Correctamundo on Dragoons! No more do we rely on flanking for Heavy Thrust or being behind targets for the Impulse Drive combo. Monks still have to do dat dance, though.
@FlickeringEmber: I haven't done SoF as a Monk (in fact, I've only ever tanked it) but this is what I do for similarly large targets. You want to stay at the "edge" of the open part of the target circle for your back attacks. That way, all you have to do for the hit to count as a "flank" is shift slightly so that you're just barely on the solid part of the circle.

That way you shouldn't have to be near its footfalls and suffer massive damage.
