You get one instance of PB'd Rockbreaker x5 to go with my Howling Fist. Arm of the Destroyer is absolutely awful potency for its TP cost (and honestly should be reserved solely for silencing and for pushing away the bombs in Brayflox HM), so if I'm going to be going through the standard Raptor -> Coeurl -> Opo-opo rotation to reach Rockbreaker anyway, it's usually far more efficient for me to be Demo'ing and ToD'ing each mob before returning to Rockbreaker spam.
People who expect Monks to AoE more than that need to be beaten over the head with a two-by-four. We're not BLMs, BRDs, or even DRGs. Technically speaking, even NINs have better AoE than we do.
This is specifically what I was thinking about. YOU GET PERFECT BALANCE AND ROCKBREAKER IS AWESOME, USE IT.
Also, against big pulls (talking 4+) I think Rockbreaker outperforms. You need something ridiculous like 9+ before AotD becomes "worth" using, and even then, you should be PB/RBing that part.
OH, THAT REMINDS ME. NINS WHO DROP THE AOE ON SINGLE TARGET ENEMIES.
