advice for monk build

after getting a tidbit bored with BLighting, i decided to look into some NF skills. One that i found very interesting was Watchful Healing, +4 health regen (~80 health at end...) and 126 heal if removed... sounds perfect for pvp, it would totally negate any shatter enchantment and AoG dervs would be somewhat more tolerable.

after using this skill for a while i decided to invent into healing and dump gift (as much as i love it). mainly i did this for dwaynas kiss. my build then looked something like this:

- Dwayna's Kiss (Healing Prayers)
- Signet of Devotion (Divine Favor)
- Reversal of Fortune (Protection Prayers)
- Watchful Healing (Divine Favor)
- Shielding Hands (Protection Prayers)
- Guardian (Protection Prayers)
- Protective Spirit (Protection Prayers)

but then again, thats no hex or condition removal. now i have no elite, blight would work well but i see energy management coming into effect. healers boon would make dwaynas kiss an awesome spell, but that would also call for comboing a few enchants just to heal (even if it is 200+, thats less flexibility). Signet of Removal? its an interesting signet indeed, with a 5 second recast it looks quite useful and with half my skills being enchants, why not? so tht was placed in the... maybe elite spot. holy veil + restore conditions was another idea (getting rid of something like shielding hands or guardian).

secondary is up for grabs, adding in blight or ZB i might go /e for GoLE, and then theres always sin for return and deaths retreat

so i ask you all what elite i should use and if this build looks good, i havent tried it in high end pvp just RA and pve so far

I think if you are going to be putting points into heal anyways, and only have one heal, it should be gift.

I also like shield of absorbtion over shielding hands, yes I realize that the cast time was nerfed a bit, but it is still awesome skill and imo is better than shielding hands.

As for watchful healing, i think there are much better options. With the nerf to AoG they have become less of an issue, and the only other enchant removal coming from a shatter enchant or something similar to that (which would typically come in a spike) you may have put it on then covered it with prot spirit or another enchant, or aegis went up, etc, they will not get the 126 pt heal from getting a removal and condition removal > +4 regen.

As for elites, if you were to switch out watchful for something like holy veil, you could take RC as your elite. However I do like a ZB/GoH monk. For general PvE, I would take a condition removal and ZB, and for PvP it really depends on your team build.
