Hey guys
First and foremost I know WW is in a rough spot and has been for some time but I love the class and as a casual player who just does M+ and maybe gets AotC it works for me.
I did have a question though as I’ve read some guides and watched some stuff but I noticed yesterday when watching a monk stream live that he was clipping his FoF. I heard vaguely about that once but didn’t read too much into it but now it looks like it’s important.
Can someone explain to me when and why we clip FoF? Seems like we clip it the second that RSK is available? Anyway I’m just trying to find small things I can adjust to improve. I’m finishing 15/16 keys around 140k overall sometimes higher and I"m 460 so I don’t feel like I"m awful. I obviously can’t compete with DH and stuff but I’m still having a lot of fun and want to be a bit more competitive.
I’m open to any and all advice. I’ve also noticed a lot of monks have 2 different builds, they have the FLS build and the FFG build. I prefer FFG when I’m doing M+ but I don’t really know situationally when we would change between them or why.
Educate and help me fellow WW monk brothers, I’m excited to hear from all 5 of you. 
You are correct that WW clips FoF when RSK is available. This is done during Serenity because the RSK is worth more than the last few ticks of FoF, so getting RSK out and back on CD can mean you get another during Serenity’s duration.

Even on trash? This guy was clipping FoF on just trash mobs in a key. He was clipping even outside of serenity.
Sorry just trying to understand.
Yes there are instances where in AoE you want to cancel FoF as well in Serenity. Like SotWL or a DoCJ empowered SCK.
As far as why this guy did it and would do it outside of Serenity. Everyone doesn’t play perfectly 100% of the time. I cancel outside of serenity accidentally sometimes even though I know I shouldn’t. If he was doing it consistently, you might have to ask him directly. He might not know he does it. Or has a specific reason only known to him. Or he could just be experimenting with it. A lot of people are experimenting with different builds or mechanics early on cuz they can. Even if they know they aren’t the most optimal.
Meanwhile I don’t clip at all because I’d rather take the minor dps loss than learn to intuit when I need to clip for 1% more DPS, I have [nochanneling:fists of fury] on most abilities so when I am prespamming I don’t break it
