alright, thanks.
how much should i be aiming for?
1.5-1.7k?
no clue how your dex and all res are so shitty... your a shield monk, you should be at like 900 - 1k all res without res mantra buff
and dex @ 1k is too low...unless you a pure tank monk that is bullet proof but does no damage yet is unkillable... but then your res would have to be higher for that and you dont have that. So you are NOT a pure tank. OVerall id say thats a good act2 monk. You should be face rollin shit. For act 3, your gonna have to play super smart wit that gear. Its doable, but tough.
so decide if you want to be pure tank or dps. that would make it easier for you to decide on gear choice. Pure dps wont really need as high all res. Pure tank needs god res so you can sit in shit (but even then, all res doesnt do jack shit for late game act molten n shit...)
aim for 1.5k - 2k dex. 2k dex is SUPER useful, thats 40% dodge right there and not to mention dps buffer. But 2k dex isnt cheap to get to. Thats high dex on EVERY piece of gear. So decide your route you wanna go, then on what your budget is.

need a lil more crit chance n crit dam. Up your armor up. 3k unbuff is too low.
id change your blinding flash skill to the dps buff one for 3 sec. Works great with boostin dps. 3sec of big dam, then after dps buff wears off, throw serenity on and you can finish off whatever (most likely this is act1/act2 farm monk, you are no where near act3 ready... well you could do it, but you would prolly die to much to make it worth while. Ur dex is decent at 1.7k. You can keep your serenity with reflect dam rune on to be unique. Most would use the heal one for 4sec immunity one, but im sure your reflect one works fine for whatever act1 or 2 areas you farmin.
overall your monk is doable for act1 n 2.
