if it were ever an issue, seeding before shadow stepping in would solve the problem.

It's not an issue as long as you're good, bad coordination between your team will make spikes unclean.

Also, whirlwind attack is unique in the fact that it only triggers SS and Empathy once per use.

ive been doing some t2 runs, and cause many ppl i see in ToA say pug MTeams suuuuck, i have been watching out for their performance... must say that, even though it doesnt rly sound logical, i have been getting more chest runs with manly than i did with the previous fowsc build, roj/cryway.. this may be due to the fact that ive been getting experienced groups, idk, but still.... imo, manly is safer than FoC or roj/cryway, cause one spike (if clean), will kill them all in 1 second (less cause of cons)... while in roj/cryway, you may need up to 3 seconds for roj to trigger 3 times... manly just doesnt give the monks any chance

If you are using Whirlwind Attack while you are hexed with SS, and you know that the number of enemies you are going to be attacking will drain the rest of your HP, you deserve to explode.

If you don't know how much damage you are going to take when you attack under SS, you deserve to explode that much more.

If your backline fails enough to allow SS to remain on you for more than a second or two and/or they can't cover the damage, then they deserve to explode.

Any more smart-ass comments?

Useful tidbit of information. Verified on wikia.guildwars.com...

No, Whirlwind Attack is not unique in this respect. Cyclone Axe only triggers SS and Empathy once. There are many errors on the unofficial wiki notes for Cyclone.
This is of course a moot point for use with Hundred Blades.

This statement is false. There are at least two errors here. SS and Empathy trigger damage only once, regardless of the number of foes you hit. Cyclone Axe is a single attack that strikes for multiple hits. I have not tested that Vigorous Spirit claim. I am not sure what is meant by that statement.

Edit: That sentence on wiki was false, and I have changed it. It now reads:

I do know that Vigorous Spirit triggers on every successful hit from Cyclone Axe.

I've ran fow clears all day for like a week now. If you have SS on you and use whirlwind attack, you will only be hurt once, regardless of how many foes you hit. Works the same with empathy.

That is correct, and I never said otherwise. I simply stated that Whirlwind Attack is not unique, because Cyclone Axe exhibits the same behavior. I'll edit my post (again) for clarity.

Here's an end to the Wiki Error. the 6 SS isn't from the one cyclone axe, notice only one damage from it. the 0's are from retribution.

TY MisterB and Sheik. I removed my post because all it did was point @ Wiki and say Mebbe, Mebbe Not.
