Ok, so now that I finally finished my epic (yay) I was wondering what my best DPS setup is? I have a Tstaff so I assume once the triple attack patch happens that will be my best DPS option. I'm unclear if in the meantime it's better to go Tstaff or epic fist/SoS?

I have been sort of loosely going by this monk DPS chart that someone made but it's a couple years old so not sure how accurate it is (I assume it still is).

Based on that chart it looks like epic/SoS just barely edges out Tstaff when you include procs but it's so close it seems like it might be a wash depending on your proc rate and maybe other factors like buffs or mob level/AC etc..

I'm thinking if it's super close the Tstaff is probably the better all around choice just to better deal with damage shields and such? Or maybe some have other ideas on it?
At 60...

After the triple attack / damage bonus patch, the TStaff will be the best "easily" attainable weapon for monks.

Epic/SoS is better DPS now

Epic/SoS or Epic/Epic is better push (useful when fighting casters), which means even after the patch, you'll still probably put away the TStaff every once in a while

Epic/SoS is less aggro than TStaff because of the TStaff proc (good in some situations and bad in others), which means even after the patch, you might still end up putting away the TStaff on raids or when someone else is tanking.

TStaff is better against damage shields

The stun on the TStaff is useful in a lot of situations

The PDF you link should still be accurate
