The only problem is staying alive long enough until they settle aggro. Usually they will start to break off from me and kill my friend even though he runs up and casts and runs back. Eventually the degen gets to me and I die or my friend dies and im out of Spell immunity. We can only kill about 1-3 before my friend dies. Anything better to improve this or is it pretty much the best we'll get?

Stone striker and mantra of earth instead of channeling and earth attunement. Only use resolve for OF and only when mantra of earth is ready to remove it. Thats a lot of damage reduction and free energy. For the monk, he should only sb for initial aggro then once you have em in a good place he can try the visage, but running a loooong ways away should work if you pick a good spot for aggro.

Maybe arcane echo+spell breaker?

This will only take you so far. I've been pretty much soloing up until the point the interrupts start pouring on. If you get past the giant hordes it's okay, but you can't do the quests. Unless they've changed Mantra lately it's still around 7 energy per interrupt isn't it?

A lot of that initial aggro is where you tank it also, if you park on the right spot where monk can cast through the wall and then back out of aggro again, it should be ok. Sometimes they'll still break around you though unless position is perfect. You'll get there. Another option that I've seen is just glyph on conc instead of resolve.
