After the tank has established the aggro, and your eles/necros are about to attack, start putting Life Barrier on them. NOT Life Bond, because if any of these folks gets hit with a big spike, you will also take damage, and you don't wanna risk your life going under 50%, cause then you lose your Barrier on the tank, and then start taking even MORE damage from his Bonds. Phew.... *takes a breath*
Even just having a Barrier on one of the attackers will get you xp/LB. But if you a good enough bonder, Life Barrier on all (cept monks) will be greatly appreciated and helpful for the duration of that battle.

It's not about it being more effective, its necessary to keep the tank energy bar fueled, and more of a back protection for him. Additional bonding/barriers for the rest of the team during a battle is often times a big help too. So, no an active prot or heal cannot replace the bonder. Along with the bonder, 2 other monks are often brought along... the Spellbreaker monk takes care of a little bit of Protection with Prot Spirit, Dismiss Conditions, etc... and the Healer's Boon monk, who is more active healing, with Heal Party, Dwayna's Kiss, and another direct heal...
That answer your Q at all?
cheers
i thought that it might be some bug in certain area or smth, but when i tryed bonding myself i've noticed that unless i recast bonds on tank AFTER he establishes aggro, i'm not getting any exp/LB whatsoever. i dont want to rush in to recast bonds on tank cos its too easy to break aggro in DoA to risk it often, so the only way for me to get some exp/LB points here and there was to cast some bond on eles after they start to burn, however in some areas mobs shatter enchants so eles try to avoid having even fire attunm on them, i dont want to kill them for the sake of getting couple LB points...
