I've come to the conclusion that shields aren't viable for monks. I'm able to roll through elites in act1 inferno right now. Within using all my cooldowns I can kill at least 1 elite mob before potentially dying if i can't get away, even the vortex/jailor mobs. And with the nerf on boon of protection it's not completely viable for me to use mantra of healing anymore.

12.8k unbuffed dps.

1. Breath of heaven - increased damage rune
2. Serenity - healing rune
3. seven sided strike - increased damage rune
4. mantra of conviction - increased damage rune
left click. thousand fists w/ spirit generator rune
right click. crippling wave w/ dmg reduction rune (for tanking packs of normal mobs)

I'm currently pursing as much +life on hit as possible.. i have 444 right now just from my weapon. You can gain these bonus's from other gear as well. I'm wondering what the max would be.. maybe 2k would be godly?

Passives.
1. 100% dext to armor
2. highest res becomes all res
3. 16% damage increase from casting direct heals

This isn't the optimal damage build possible but it's very deadly and gives me enough survivability to roll through act1 inferno and kill things faster before they kill me essentially.

I'm considering swapping out my damage passive for dw dodge.. but i do a fair amount of kiting and try to avoid hits as much as possible so i feel it would negate the effectiveness of being a damage build.
