Ok guys, I seem to have hit a wall now...
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Kylezo-1560/hero/933168I can farm a3 pretty efficiently but I die a couple times here and there...always to elemental stuff. I read about people
standing in desecrate with worse defensive stats than me which to me is mind boggling...desecrate drains my health pool so fast. Anyways, I only die if I misstep an ice blast and get frozen in something, or cornered, etc. Always mobility issues.
What are my next logical upgrades? I don't think I can do without the shield, I feel so squishy without it. I was using a dodge-backlash build for a while but I hated it. 76% dodge and I still died and it took forever to kill stuff. But, would it make sense for me to get a good LoH offhand (I have a Won but it's only 250ish LoH)? I've got about 13m gold.
Use Thunderclap. When you get stuck or positioned in a position where you don't want to be in, just hold shift and click on the mob that's on the edge of the pack. You will teleport to that mob and run away. It should save you so many times.
And instead of Ways of hundreds fists, just use blinding flash. It can be used as an offensive skill for burst dmg OR as a defensive skill for OH SHIT button.
These two skills should save you a lot.
And get a faster weapon. Faster hitting means you are procing more LOH per second.
If you are comfortable with hit and run type of kiting against nasty elites, you should definitely go dual wield. More dmg/if you would like, more LOH as well. I'm not much of a LOH monk, so I would recommend you to start stacking some crit dmg.

Good luck. 13mil gold is more than enough for you to upgrade a lot of stuff. Just take your time.
