1. Best in Slot List for Windwalker Monks
Bear in mind that all of this is subject to change based on Warforging and Titanforging happening on gear, so this is absolutely a guideline and not a rule. Note that it is also just dealing with gear from raid environments, so this could change if you are spending a large amount of time in Mythic+ and gaining different, rarer pieces.
2. Trinkets
Trinkets often fall outside of the linear progression of normal gearing, and as such they will be listed separately from the BiS lists:
Lustrous Golden Plumage from Kings Rest;
Dead-Eye Spyglass from Siege of Boralus;
Galecaller's Boon from Shrine of the Storm;
Harlan's Loaded Dice from Freehold.
Keep in mind the 
Darkmoon Deck: Fathoms is currently better than any
Mythic level trinket from Uldir and any
dungeon trinket. It can be crafted or bought through the Auction House.
3. Best in Slot Set List for Windwalker Monks from Dungeons
The following are the best in slot pieces for Windwalker attainable from dungeons. Keep in mind with the advent of war and Titanforging, any piece of gear can be used. Item level is what matters most and is the easiest deciding factor. To make sure you use the right items, refer to //www.icy-veins.com/wow/windwalker-monk-pve-dps-simulations.
