here's the build I'm running. Been doing solo jailer/butcher runs for a couple days now with maybe 2-3 deaths on elite mobs throughout that time:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#baXgTh!UYT!cabacZI run 1 handed weapon with shield. Here's my stats (keep in mind my damage goes up to around 15k when i pop heal + 3 hits on my primary attack):

I usually attack with my right click (teleport skill) since it attacks fastest, has a knockback, and regens spirit fastest.
- A good tactic is to tele onto them with right click, attack 3 times with left click to get the damage buff, then switch back to right click.
For elite mobs if they have molten, desecrate, etc I use shift+left click to kite them while still doing decent damage and tele stomp them whenever serenity is on cooldown.
Use 7 sided strike in the following situations:
an "oh crap" button if elites jump on you/you need to avoid some sort of damage immediately (works well vs frozen as well. use serenity to dodge one frozen ball wave, use 7 sided strike to dodge the next, etc)
a large group of enemies is gathered in a small area - with the last rune on it, you do 111% weapon damage as splash damage around whoever you're hitting. so if they're all together they're going to take a lot of damage. This works really well against illusionist elites to clear out their clones.
let me know if you have any questions.
you can attack 2 times with rightclick and the 3rd time with your leftclick to trigger the rune
i like the build but i suggest life on hit, it should enable you to beat act 2 inferno
did you ever try the blind? it is really awesome and i would take it over heal anytime. i have only 14k dmg with my build but it is really easy to beat act 2 inferno with it.
e: i guess i could take the dmg buff on the heal instead of the fear but i really like the cc to keep my mate alive (if im not playing solo :D)
