There are mobs that you could have split up to that point -- but there were other ways to pull them.  There are mobs you have to split after that.  Absent a second monk a Necro can help you split.   Or you can split yourself if you've got a really long way to pull.  Single pulling to split usually requires multiple fds and a long way to run.   

Two monks is far and away the easiest.

I would suggest that for the couple of times you could have split up to that point that you have your guild try and let you split them for practice.

Reed (pun intended) it an weep.

Should at that at 43 I use Hrukstraz' serrated shinbones and hierloom pugalist wraps.  Sometimes I swap out the wraps for Claws of the beastlord.

I'll by bite.  What does pushing hands actually do?  I thought it was a counterspell but I've never seen an effect.

Agree about Errant Strike.  Really just a longer lasting Secret of Celerity.  One hour timer is ridiculous.

I find errant strike very useful its a better celerity.  Make sure you are your own defensive target and go to town adds about 1k per hit (e.g a little under 3k for thousand fists  one strike for each hit/3hits).  Use Ashen Hand and thousand fists.

As to being a drunken monk -- I'm fine with it but I duo with a paladin a lot -- so I pull aggro with jeering kick or the aoe and he rescues me for mega damage.

The level 46 stance is silly though

Pushing Hands cause I've got no clue what it does and the default drunken form (the yin/yang symbol) as I'd rather be in eternal form for evasion or the aggresive form for the +dmg. 

Pretty much everything else gets some use at some time or another depending on whats going on and whether I'm solo, duoing, grouped, etc.  Though some things get a lot more use than others.
