Most people overgear on defensive stats on monks and neglect their offensive power.
You dont need 1k resists. 750 is enough for even the hardest packs in a4.
You dont need 9k armor. 5-6k is perfectly fine.
Hell, You don't even need a shield.

Here is an example of what you can do with an offensively balanced gear set up:

Stats completely unbuffed:

Since there are no worthwhile offensive passives and the defensive ones are really good, I run with the standard one with everything, resolve and seize the initiative.
With 15%+ crit, 2k+ dex, some AS and a couple high dps emerald-socketed weapons you can get over 50k unbuffed, while maintaining enough defensive stats.

With blind and mantra up, the crits go up to 300k easily oneshotting prettymuch any white mob in the game.
I only switch to shield for nasty electro mobs or for ranged mortar groups to block some of that damage. With shield the dps is still around 45k.

whoever's overgeared, try duel-wield. Will improve run time greatly

problem is the first part of ur statement :p

Any tips for beating Belial? which primary attack should i use to keep a good "dodge chance" not getting stuck performing a combo while he's gonna smash me with one of his arms

I was thinking about FoT or DR mainly but... which rune?

HC monk died, didn't feel like playing monk again then decided to pick up my SC monk to play around. I can breeze through act 1 and even skip normal mobs and just kill elites but I can't handle act 3 at all and was wondering where I need improvement. Here's my stats and gear. Which slot should I focus on upgrading first? Rings 1 & 2 are the same.

And if it matters; here's what I currently use for my build http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aijXgh!ZXU!aZcbYa

Using enchantress follower with right, right, right, left.
