Though arguably between boosts, SoS, and 10k, you're is still pretty bursty, but just over 20 seconds instead of 2 seconds.
Yes, from my understanding from last Reaper test, 20 secs is not acceptable for very deadly mobs that can't be CC'd. This is the basis from which I am reasoning.

Fury is probably not the correct ED choice for playing the sole DPS in a trio with 2 support characters.
He didn't say two support players, he said CC/Instakillers. That means he is red named aka non-CC/non-instakillable mob duty. In my mind that means instantaneous maximum burst DPS on demand. That's the builds I've suggested for him.

@ Lelouch
If your buddies are going to have everything held for you (or otherwise helpless), you might want to try and fit in No Mercy and/or Sense Weakness.
You save a Tier 4 Twist and remain at the height of burst damage in Fury. Please see my rationale above.

Am considering 12 monk 6 something 2 wiz, get the stacking ac from wiz scroll mastery /just in case to suplement the others (im really a multitask player, and i learned to play that way as a treeplayer),
I'm down with that, my original thrower build had /5 Wiz and loved the giant AC from Eldritch Knight.

Is it possible to get reasonable enchant dcs and have burst at the same time on a shuri/possibly a hybrid ?
Keep in mind its a 1-30 10skull build, needs to be a effective burster or ranged dps as soon as posible.
(there are safe spots in most lowbies so getting 10 k and many bit later isnt a issue and they wont be as effective early on either way)
The thing about CC arrows I love is that it's not on vorpal or anything it's every hit. So if you can hit like a 70 DC (not that hard) you can still be in Fury maintain really strong DPS while being able to CC effectively. If you twist Pin, this is a pretty rad combo on trash/non red names. If someone is already holding everything for you, just switch to elemental arrows. Point is, you can still be in Fury for the burst.
And yes, all you need with ranger levels (for feats) is Zen Archery to be able to capitalize on Manyshot. You don't even technically need Zen Archery you just drop stance and have to re-enable after Manyshot. It's a pain I've done it but not impossible to manage. You just have to train Dex to Damage from Deepwood in that case.
It sounds like you need to go 12 Monk/6Ranger/2Wizard. For the record, you can always just switch destinies if you want to see how either play. I will say however if you're not going Kensei for x3 crit, you should probably go AA Capstone through Elf or Half Elf. You can always Switch AP to try Ninja Spy Tier 5 but that makes Fury not ideal. Halfling really only makes sense on a /6 Fighter/6 Ranger build like mine since you don't have the AP for AA capstone through elf/helf anyway
They may nerf AA stances for throwing but if you're only aiming for a 70'ish DC for Para Arrows, if they nerf you can spec out of that with some gear changes and maye a feat swap. It's not big deal. If you do full Terror Arrow build like suggested below by 5FS, you're looking at a complete TR on nerf. For me, that's an important consideration as I hate TR'ing.
