I've been wondering about these things myself, but these are the sort of questions that are dangerous to ask other people. The reality is that most people haven't tested, and they just guess based on what they've been told. I'll work on finding out about the RoA+dodging+illusoryself stacking.
Maestro has already been answered correctly. The first time you play each lusternian day, you will go up 1-2%. Keep doing that until you get to 100%, then bond.
Small point of disagreement - in my experience, faeling monks don't do bad damage at all. In both hunting and combat, monk damage is determined by both dexterity and strength, with a much higher weight given to dex. When I had 13str/16dex, I tested whether it was better to bump my str or my dex. Even after DMP changes, raising dex by 2 gave me more damage than raising str by 2.
All f that to say - faelings can hurt. Unfortunately, they're very easy to interrupt and very squishy.

Thinking on it a bit more, I imagine your argument is that faeling monks are overpowered (relative to other monk races).
I'd defer to the more skilled combatants if they want to weigh in, but it's been my experience that faelings (for example) have only affliction speed as an advantage, as far as monk races go. They do less damage both short and long term. And they have to get their attacks in unanswered, since they're so squishy.
Same thing to a lesser extent for aslaran.
For their less damaging offense, they're also more vulnerable to katas being broken, though they do have the speed afflict advantage to take and hold control of a 1 on 1 fight.
