BTW Stop listing Mantra of Recall and Energy Drain. The topic is monk skills not mesmer skills.

I mainly run as a PvP Boon Protector and my three favourite skills in that setup are:

Contemplation of Purity - Really annoys the enemy when they think they've got you then you hit this skill to wipe hex and condition whilst also giving yourself a good heal followed by the minor heal you get when you reactivate Divine Boon.

Reversal of Fortune - 3 heals in one from your Divine Favour, Divine Boon then the next hit you/ally takes whilst being near uninteruptable. Cheap at 5 energy as well = Genius.

Gift of Health - Big heal at lowish attribute spendage in a Boon Protter.

My single favourite has to be CoP purity though. I never used to use it but never leave home without it now.

*Edit*
When PvEing I go for a full healer setup and my 3 favourite skills in that are:

Healing Seed - Good to cast on one of the warriors so that they all take advantage of it when you're in an organised group and they are working together.

Heal Party - A definate must when you're in a n00blet group who seem to think running off in different directions attacking/aggroing different targets is a good idea.

Signet of Devotion - Again a must to enable you to carry on healing in the above mentioned n00blet group when you have to keep using the energy expensive Heal Party.

Touch is there to get my health back up after Infuse. My style is save you at either 40% HP with WoH or 5% with Infuse, depending.

1. Aura of Faith - what's really awesome about this, is that it doesn't affect just your healing, but all sources of healing on them.

2. Dwayna's Kiss - Combined with 1. and 2. at 13 healing, you get 249 healing for 5 energy. Add 48 for each additional hex or enchantment on that ally.

3. Vigorous Spirit - At 13 healing, and 16 Divine with number 1 - you're looking at 28 health per attack/spell on your allies, saving you a ton of energy. - IMO one of the most underrated skills, I hardly see it ever used. It's also a good cover enchantment from stripping - it's cheap, fast recharge, and long duration.

My 3 favorite monk skills would depend on what I'm doing. If I'm solo farming, I am going to have 3 different favorite skills than if I'm doing a cooperative missions. I'll just list my favorite skill from each of 3 main functions I perform as a monk

1) Pve healer. Dwayna's Kiss - moderaly powerful, cheap, quick to activate and fast recharge. Plus nifty bonus healing if the target is all jacked up.

2) PvP boon protector. Reversal of fortune - very powerful, cheap, extremely quick to activate and fast recharge.

3) PvE solo farmer. Shield of Judgement. The best damage a monk farmer has going since Balth Aura started scattering monsters many moons ago.

Regarding Healing Seed: if they would put Healing Seed back to how it was before Anet nerfed it, I'd put it in slot #1 instead of Dwayna's Kiss.

peace and harmony
with blessed aura, i can pretty much energy manage any mo or rit on the team. good for most monk builds really.

healing hands
like healing seed but can actually be used as a save. heals for more hp, less energy to cast and faster cast/recharge, doesn't have the aoe healing but why would everyone be crowding around the tank anyways when he's tanking? for any squishies, this is also a good save when comboed with healing breeze.

shield of regeneration
probably the best save in the game. you put it on a squishy low on hp and you can pretty much forget about him for a bit and focus on the rest of the team, unless there's shatter abound. the reason i have SoR and HH both as top skills is because i rarely play heal+prot, usually either one or the other.

Life Sheath is suprisingly fun and useful in my opinion I was messing around with it, WoH is still the best hands down though.

1) Infuse Health - Who knew descent reflexes could get me all that fame?
2) Aegis - Such a comforting guy with a beard
3) Seed - Set it and forget it!

And a consolation prize needs to go to Return on a Mo/A. Wonderful for getting out of sticky situations.
