Picking out a staff for my monk and double checking that increased elemental damage with attacks will effect the storm wave
Also checking that the best combo would be phys/flat lightning/elemental?/attack speed/crit

Those modifiers are great for a Monk staff, but also look for +level of Melee skills.

Mana already a struggle but for sure need some mana sustain lol

So this will boost my storm wave, the elemental damage to attacks?

Correct, the higher level Storm Wave would have more base damage, and elemental damage to attacks would add on top of that.

Mana can be a problem, but is easily fixed with some Sapphires that give +2% to mana on kill.

My high end experience last league was using the Melting Maelstrom mana flask though which got a huge nerf, so not sure how well you can build mana sustain for bosses in this league.
