General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Windwalker Monk has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger — Use on cooldown, pair it with other DPS cooldowns like Storm, Earth, and Fire if delaying it will
not lose you a cast throughout the fight. If you don't know if it will or not, then use on cooldown as the safest strategy.- Storm, Earth, and Fire — Used close to on cooldown while lining up with other abilities and damage bonuses.
Don't sit on 2 charges; always have it recharging unless you know a big damage phase is upcoming where you can use both charges.
Celestial Conduit should be used with the other cooldowns, with 
Strike of the Windlord used first to trigger 
Heart of the Jade Serpent
after the other cooldowns and Celestial Conduit when the first Heart of the Jade Serpent is finishing.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
Windwalker Monks excel at handling predictable damage, but do not do well reacting to damage.
Generally you want to prioritize using 
Touch of Karma first to handle incoming damage, since it reflects
some of the damage back to the target. After this, 
Diffuse Magic is very useful at handling large chunks of
magic damage. Lastly 
Fortifying Brew is useful for smaller chunks of damage over a longer period of time, or to add
on top of Touch of Karma to increase your health pool and the amount that Touch of Karma will absorb and redirect.
