I'll try not to be a fuck wit answering this since it seems to be causing you all not to understand most of what I'm saying, which is play tested, extensively, with an eye toward both statistical and real world optimization. Don't forget, number are just numbers. It's like saying with Beethoven's sheet music we can all be brilliant pianists. No, no we can't. You have to play the music.
IPS: using ips does require movement, but not particularly fast movement. Stuff has a tendency to run at you in a line. Turbine did not program "serpentine run" into AI. A I said, vast majority of stuff is dead before it gets to me, or slowed, or pinned, or whistled.
Whistler/Pin: I just started using it a few months ago having ignored it for pin for a long time. If you are not great at timing it or you have a lot of lag, YMMV. I can't live without it, I don't know how anyone does. Could not disagree with you more. Be careful making weird statement about stuff like this (I will try be also) because it is the most subjective of all arguments. Dancing with no save a moving mob(s) for 18 seconds with helpless is borderline OP, if you're good at sticking it. Pin, even without helpless slows mobs, which is what This build craves. You can play without them, I think you're nuts though. Pin whistler sniper shot is (order is flexible) is the EE easy button. Practice them.
Action Boosts: you're lazy, you said so yourself. But with forge buff and 30% damage boost up that's 50% damage. Do you have any conception how much that is? I fear you don't. Having 8 of each instead of 5 is the difference between having it for 5 encounters per shrine and 8. I estimate about 50% of quests to require more than 5 boosts between shrines to have "full time" ie for all fights of more than 3 mobs at once. Monkchers are all about bursting, I will not ever run with less than 8 boosts. Try it yourself make a point of always running out. If you do, you won't go back. It's 100x better than 3-4 damage from elf. Also, raids. No shrines means you need more boosts. Which brings me to my next point...
Elf and /FvS 2: no, just no. 320 damage furyshotting? Wow. Considering my furyshots average somewhere around 8k, that's about 4%. I'll keep my 50%, 8x/day action boosts thank you.
Your DPS argument against blade forged with pally are uninspiring, and don't hold up to careful investigation.
But more importantly, runs completely counter to my play style. Tht play style being, kill everything as fast as inhumanly possible with every possible damage buff as fast as you can. If you want to hangout and run around and plink away casually, be my guest. You could splash anything on 6 monk and it would be irrelevant, then you can argue ad naseum about who plinks better and runs faster. If that's your thing.
If you want to destroy everything in your path with extreme prejudice and not have to stop to heal or die in the meantime because you're action boosts are ticking (or blitz stacks, or blackdragon buff, or previously stacked archers focus stacks), then you'll understand me a little better.
