Way of the Drunken Fist Subclass

So, I decided to do a redesign of my hastily-written Drunken Master from months ago, this time disregarding the drunken rage. I plan on doing another with the Drink Like a Demon feature, but wanted to get out the simplified version first since it would be the easiest to do.

 

The overall goal of the class is to mimic both the real world and fictional depictions of drunken boxing, focusing on bobbing and weaving during combat, grappling and tripping, feinting, and attacking when the opponent least expects it. Basically, a tank monk, and one who can benefit from having a decent Strength score. I'm worried that I may have been a bit too specific and long-winded with the features, and that the subclass may be overpowered.

 

I'm looking for any advice or constructive criticism people might have. Here it is: Way of the Drunken Fist Monastic Tradition

While this version is neater I feel it loses something compared to your original at http://community.wizards.com/forum/player-help/threads/4146781

some sort of crossover between the original Drink like a Demon and Drunken Mastery would be cool, I think losing the flurry > prone effect should have stayed and I really like the DLAD ki use. They should be able to fight prone without penalty imo too.
