ok so i'm kinda confused

this is my monk:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/bark-1191/hero/8498405

it isn't completely accurate as i have a different ring (instead of hellfire) that put me at about 92k dps.. and today I just bought a nat's ring which puts me at 98k dps (which I haven't tested yet, but anyway)

I can handle myself decently well doing ubers in MP5.. I die occasionally but generally do ok. In MP6 similar, but die more often. In MP7 I feel like I'm completely useless and basically just get owned.

What I don't get is that plenty of monks with similar stats to me seem to be doing fine.. What am I missing?

DPS I have about 95k unbuffed, ~38k hp, 730 resist all with OWE, 730 life on hit.

Like in the Ghom fight in particular I feel like I melt, and hte only way I can live is by only engaging on serenity cooldown..

What is my problem here? Do I need life steal instead? or more LOH? or add life regen?

Never submitted my monk for some critics. Would love to hear ways to improve it. Been currently playing in monster power level 3 with ease.

poison plague?
frozen bombs

To my knowledge, none of these things.

But I may be wrong.

Because with enough cc you spawn 20+ tornadoes at a time which is 400% damage. Also cyclone takes a snapshot of your dps when you use it, so if you use blinding flash with +30% damage rune right before you cyclone, your cyclone will still do 30% more damage when blinding flash wears off.

So Sledge Fist has apparently become best in slot vs elites/ubers. The high stun chance pretty much allows you to stunlock anything until it dies. I was able to move up to mlvl7 from mlvl4, haven't tested it past 7 but so far it's been cake. The dps loss is highly worth the stunlock mechanic.
