Assuming we're talking about an IO'd out build, the top Martial Arts DPS chain is Storm Kick -> Crane Kick -> Storm Kick -> Crippling Axe Kick. But you may be talking about something to use while leveling.

To put some numbers on it, Storm Kick -> Crane Kick -> Storm Kick -> Crippling Axe Kick does about 85% higher DPS than Thunder Kick -> Boxing -> Air Superiority.

I am using this build mainly for the added punches. I was hoping that using short recharge powers I would get pretty good sustained DPS (ala the old DM buzz saw builds). I don't really spend a lot of time computing DPS chains, so I was just curious how bad I under perform. I do have other MA powers: CK, DT, EC, CS that I toss in occasionally.|

I am able to perform at an acceptable level for me. I tend to just solo missions and my character is IO'ed out, so I was curious if I would perform significantly better using a better chain.
I was going to add my build but the export from Mid's has all the tags in it.
Once I16 hits, I am sure I will make some adjustments to the build, but I like the pools I have now, so not sure I will change those out.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the top MA DPS chain with Eagle's Claw?

You know what I like about MA? Actually using its powers. Maybe it's just me.

I like using the MA powers too. As you can see from the posted build I have 5 of the 9 primary powers. Unfortunately, I wanted to add some punches to the mostly kick type powers of MA.

@ThrillKiller
Just wait for Power Customization them. There are some punch animations now for some of the attacks, so you can make use of the set without having to rely on pool powers.

I like most of the powers, too. I believe it was origenally touted as the set that always had an available attack. The only real grief I have with it is the time you waste after your attack lands. Crane Kick should have 0.3 to 0.4 sec shaved from them so, maybe, you could hit them with dragons tail or storm kick as they got KB'ed.
Hopefully the new animations will help with the flow of attack. IMO, although the moves may animate in the same timeframe, sometimes when the actual damage is done can still have significant effects on what attack feels best before and after.
