Martial Arts, Flurry and Ki-fueled attack all use a bonus action, so you can not do all of them on a turn. Assuming you go with flurry that is 4 attacks a turn, ki fueled attack ormartial arts is 3.B. Using Ki is not sustained - If you are using Ki to make a flurry of blows or attack with your Kensei weapon then this is not sustained damage.C. Hex and Hexblade Curse - I don't think it is fair to consider these for three reasons -1. Hex uses a spell slot, and Hexblade curse is limited uses so they are not really sustained2. The math does not work.  It uses a bonus action to cast Hex and a BA to move to a new enemy which cuts heavily into your flurry damage.  Also being concentration you will have to recast it every time you lose it.  Baleful Curse can't be moved to a new creature once the first is dead.  Considering most enemies only last 2-3 turns, most turns you will be using your bonus action to put these up instead of making the extra attacks.  I think your flurry damage (along with the Hex and Curse riders) needs to be cut by at least 80% to account for this.3. Assuming you are playing with feats any character can get Hex, so it is not unique to warlock and could be added to any build.C. Rapier - Why are you using a Rapier when a longsword or warhammer will do more damage?Using these changes you have:(2d10 Longsword+10 dex+8 prof + 2d6 Hex+2d6 curse)+0.2*(2d6 Flurry+10 dex +8 prof +2d6 Hex+2d6 curse)That is an average of 50 DPR.  That probably only lasts one combat though before you are out of both Ki and Baleful Curse uses.A 12th level Rogue could use TWF and can further add dex to both attacks with the fighting initiate feat, which would put him at 45, not 40. Further with a 5-level Fey Wanderer dip (5 Ranger/7 Rogue), he loses 2d6 Sneak but gains 1d8+2d4+dex for extra attack, dreadful strikes and favored foe.  This would be 52 average against 1 creature or 57 average if you split the attacks between 3 creatures and unlike hex and baleful curse these do not require a non-attack bonus action to add the damage.</blockquote>
