Other than target count for pure DPS, these are some things to consider:
1. For Jade Empowerment , am I using this for damage, healing, or both? Jade Empowerment is a powerful DPS ability on single target and multiple targets but the healing it provides through Ancient Teachings is also significant, so you can either use it as a DPS cooldown, a healing cooldown, or you can pool your stacks of Jade Empowerment up to 2 and use them as either if you’re planning ahead. 2. Can I use Thunder Focus Tea for damage? You can use Thunder Focus Tea for damage through Rising Sun Kick or Expel Harm, but generally if you don’t need Thunder Focus Tea for healing you should be using it on Rising Sun Kick. Take care not to over cap your Jade Empowerment stacks.3. Am I playing Master of Harmony or Conduit of the Celestials?
You'll want to focus more on Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick, and Rising Sun Kick when playing Master of Harmony to build and spend your Vitality. We rarely use Spinning Crane Kick anymore, but even less when playing Master of Harmony due to the lack of Vitality interaction. Building Vitality through Tiger Palm, Blackout Kick, Rising Sun Kick, and healing is much faster than Spinning Crane Kick. We also spread and intensify our Aspect of Harmony DoT through these abilities, and Spinning Crane Kick does not. You can use Spinning Crane Kick as Conduit of the Celestials with very high target count but it's generally not used outside of tagging with Mystic Touch.
