I'm doing some act4 T4 cache farm while checking what might be wrong with my current build since I find really surprising MONKster is able to survive without any defensive abilities and MoC, it just got me wondering, might it be a problem with my playstyle? Maybe I'm too used to lower torments and that's why I'm getting my ass handed to me, I usually run throught everything and stop if I see an elite pack, that usually means a certain dead (in T4) since there's going to be around 20 monsters plus the elite pack whacking away at me and I can't really maneuver since if I move too much I just bring more stuff. once there's that many monsters n the same place I just last 3-5 seconds before I die again, do you guys clear everything on your way? That still doesn't explain how he can face tank elite packs, some of them wreck me in very few hits, especially mallet lords, they 2 shot me.
Then there's also those situations where there's 2 elite packs at the same place (especially in rifts), I don't know how to handle them besides running around chipping at them hoping I survive long enough for Epiphany to come back out of CD, which usually isn't the case.
I tried DR Keen Eye and felt a huge damage loss that wasn't really worth it as the Keen Eye's buff isn't up when spamming TLK, didn't feel too much of a difference with MoC defense wise, but the 10% boost on damage sure is nice.
I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong since all of you say my gear is good enough for T4 :<

This is what my defensive stats look like (with MoH - Time of Need), 992 resistances with MoC.
I don't play with my light monk much anymore.
I find the cdr monk way easier and fun (specially when I get the 10min shrines)
For my light monk I solo with Overawe, palm one elite and a few LTKs all explode.(my ltk crits about 30m)
I don't need much time with elites. If you kill one by one, then you may risk death by ground effect / firechains)
For group paly, I use MoH sustain ... brings me to 23k life per sec
Whats your lps ?
Try using MoH sustain and max paragon points on lps.
For higher torments, you need to replenish life quick.
