What Maneuvers would you say are whip friendly, compared to other weapons.

Setting Sun throws would work just fine with whips.

If you're using a whip, you're likely looking to bring down your opponent without killing them. This means it'll have synergy with maneuvers that are likely to assist in debilitating foes without killing them, probably.

So various boosts, utility strike or strikes that deal attribute damage are likely going to be good. Bloodletting Strike and/or Bonesplitting Strike to bring the amount of nonlethal you need to inflict or Strength Draining Strike or similar.

Without more information though it's really hard to know what exactly you're looking for.

Burning flame from DW is pretty good

Actually the DW maneuvers are fairly mediocre outside the ones that boost mobility, because so many things resist fire damage.

I don't think there are actually any maneuvers that require a specific weapon, though the whip isn't associated with any discipline if I recall.

But if you're partly psionic you'd likely do well with Diamond Mind, since Concentration is big for both a manifester and Diamond Mind.
