Mythic+ Tips
1
Thanks to 
Roll, 
Tiger's Lust, 
Flow of Chi, and 
Transcendence, you are extremely mobile in dungeons. Use them to pull packs faster.
2
Tiger's Lust removes movement-impairing debuffs from you or your target. Such debuffs often deal damage or cause damage from ground effects — use this ability to cleanse them.
3
Detox lets you dispel poison and disease effects. Use it whenever those debuffs deal significant damage to you or to your party healer.
4
Using 
Paralysis lets you bypass mob groups that aren't on your dungeon route.
