I have Eyepatch so I tested this anyway just in case there was some unintended stacking issue, but there is not. Eyepatch does affect the cooldown, but it does not stack with the epic clicky. As it shouldn't.

So wouldn't monk epic also be bugged then even if it is click haste if eyepatch is affecting kick refresh? Sounds like epic haste isn't flash flaggeded properly. So to be clear, you are still getting the 40% buff to your melee weapon even with eyepatch buff and benefiting still from 20% haste on kick?

Sounds like it is worthwhile for soloists.

I always kind of laugh at these monk weapon threads because I feel monks face this strange anti-choice between many alternatives that are all about the same. My sperglord calculator suggests (with max STR/DEX, which you probably don't have) that the Tranquil Staff is 66 dps, the Fist/SoS is 67, and the Fist/Sceptre is 67.5. Double Wu's Fists of Mastery helps, but the only real way to break out of that tier is with NTOV weapons and a Primal, for example Fist of Nature+Primal Battlehammer is 94 dps. After the October patch, monks should be able to hit 110ish DPS vs Krup Knights or so with either Abashi's or Gharn's/Fist of Nature and a primal.

Although your offense will be about the same, you can tweak your defense a bit with your weapon selection. The Tranquil Staff will reduce your ripostes (like -15% damage when tanking slowed targets) and the Fist/Sceptre combination will generate a lot of attack rounds for Mark of Karn when duo with a Cleric (who should have a MOK clicky) after proccing the Stave of Shielding for the extra buff.

I was able to duo DN rats and Velk's spiders pretty well Monk/Cleric, although it wasn't super fast (adding an enchanter helps massively) and I have a few NTOV items boosting my AC.

A October patch when monks get mh triple atk? Do you recall what the chance of triple atk is?
