Dashing Strike is a Techniques Monk skill unlocked at Level 9. The Monk dashes forwards to attack his enemy, appearing behind them and inflicting a short confused debuff on the target.
This skill allows almost instantaneous movement to the target, but it is not a teleport. It can not be used to leap over gaps or walls (such as from the Waller boss modifier). Interestingly, while Dashing Strike does not break the Jailer effect, the Monk will still move to the target; he'll just take the orange jailer circle with him.
Dashing Strike can be used to avoid some effects, if the player times it properly. A monk can avoid being hit by the Frozen explosion with a perfectly-timed Dashing Strike.
There are some pathfinding bugs when using Dashing Strike against targets on the other side of obstacles that can not be crossed directly, such as the gaps in the ground in the Act One Cemetery of the Forsaken. The Monk will target an enemy on the other side of the gap, but will then dash around the gap as though walking, and will stop and hit at the air before reaching the enemy.

Development
Dashing Strike was first revealed at BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 4 skill. There were no visuals available for the skill, and no reports on it from demo players. It was revealed in the skill tree.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Dashing Strike became a level 6 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Dashing Strike was classified as a Secondary skill and moved to level 2. For Beta Patch 14, it was re-classified as a Techniques skill and moved to level 9, and also buffed a bit.
