How to play Hit Monkey without taking loads of damage.

So I’ve got a 2* Hit Monkey now that doesn’t sound great but I’ve used him in V4 extensively. Now having watched a few YT Videos (naming no names) I can see that some people are just being blind when playing him.
So it’s pretty obvious that Hit Monkey gains most of his abilities through hisMLM combo. Pretty good. Now why does that mean taking loads of block damage? I have no clue. Now when you play him this way you also have a pretty slim chance of actually triggering Primal Rage because you end up having to parry after your MLM combo. However if you do the small trick below you will pretty much never have to take block damage.
Instead of a MLM combo do a ML - Dash Back- ML combo.
You get your 3 crits in a row from the MLM but you also
1. Don’t have to take block damage
2. Can trigger Primal Rage every time
3. 4/5 guaranteed crits instead of just 3
Of course if you don’t want primal rage you can just MLM parry but this combo allows you to do more damage, not have to rely on parry, and take less block damage, a key aspect in act 6.
In no way am I saying that I’m the best Hit Monkey player in the world but come on, why are people doing this to themselves? Just ML-dash back-ML combo. Easy and effective. Seems obvious one I’ve said it right?

Far worse than cull actually taking in to account the lower health pool
