Soo im trying to figure out what to do when my main abilities is on CD, i always come across points on bosses when my Rising Sun FoF and Dragon Punch is on CD. Now what is the right thing to do, just juggle Tiger Punch and Blackout Kick till they come off cooldown. Or can i do Blackout kicks in row? or use Crane Kick? Sooo main qustion, what do i do when everthing is on CD 
Doing more than one Blackout Kick in a row is a dps loss. It’s a tiny fraction, but still a loss. Yes, juggle Tiger and Blackout until you get your cds back. There can sometimes be situations where there is an exclusion to this. For example if you still have Weapons of Order, Xuen, or Clones out, then doing 2x Blackouts is fine because you will make it up with Rising Kick/Fists of Fury.
If you are running Hit Combo (as you should on ST raid fights) then you should never do same ability twice. This becomes a much bigger dps loss.
Crane Kick for AOE fights is obvious. If you are talented into Dance of Chiji, using Crane Kick even on one target is more dps than using Tiger.
Talent into Chi Burst. If you are low on energy but capping on Chi, you can do Blackout > Chi Burst > Blackout, while your energy regains. Vice versa, you can do Tiger > Chi Burst > Tiger if you are low on chi, but capping on energy.
Do not underestimate Expel Harm. That one chi can help you start doing Fists when you are low on energy, which then helps you regain more energy.

interesting when most things are on CD i always use expelharm to contribute with edxtra chi in between, but i didt know it broke the mastery chain. hmmm i guess ill to more juggling between tiger and blackout then, i thought it was a dps losss doing so. Cause it didt really feel right for some reason. i do mostly M+ hence why i always go with Dance of Chiji. Atm im specced into chi wave (cant remember its name) on first row.
But be careful, Expel Harm breaks your mastery/Hit Combo.
How so? I just tested it in-game and this does not seem to be true. It adds one stack to hit combo and does not affect how hard your abilities hit if you go ability > expel harm > same ability.

I have a weakaura that tracks mastery and what ability I have used last, and if I do ability > expel harm > ability, it screams at me that I’ve done a mistake. But, Im just realizing that you might be right, because I haven’t updated that aura since bfa. One moment, I will be right back.
You are right. Aura is outdated. My apologies. You are correct.
As you gear up and get your stats in order, you will have very low haste. Then Chi Burst becomes more valuable because it can give up to 2 chi.
