My monk had 36 str and 12 dex before the patch and was doing about 120 damage with a flurry ( more with crits ). It changed to around 8 damage per flurry hit on a green mob. I changed gear on jewelry and increased my dex to 24 and my damage increase to around 15 per flurry hit. I also switch from my 10 damage club and 10 damage fist weapons to the Runed Bo Staff with a base damage of 13 and the damage on flurry stayed the same at 15 per hit. So it appear that base damage is not figuring into technique ability damage.
Another thing I notices is that the itemization is all about Str on monk equipment especially off of items dropped by bosses. Bushu's club +2 Str, +hit +crit, Bolts hand wraps +2 Str, +2 Agi, Runed Bo Staff +2 str +2 agi. I list these as examples of how the boss drop equipment is mostly itemized to account for Str as the primary stat for damage which now only affects auto attack damage.
