whatever floats your boat really..

id take the first, except for ps id go spirit bond.

tbh id also take out rebirth for holy veil because im not a monk rez fan (even in pve) but many will disagree so.. maybe kick aegis, its nice but really not needed

The last one because it has GoH and a hex remover, but I'd make a couple changes first.

1. Replace Inspired Hex with Holy Veil.
2. Consider replacing SoA with Sig of Devotion for most PvE areas. I find SoA to be valuable only in a few select areas in PvE while Sig of Devotion is great everywhere.

I'm not a fan of Aegis on this kind of bar (ZB,GoH,etc.) in PvE. The strength of that bar is its ability to be a super strong healer in addition to the prot and utility stuff. It's the "DO-EVERYTHING!" God bar in PvE. You don't even need a second monk in your party a vast majority of the time if you run this bar.

Aegis, however, consumes two slots with GoLE, which means you need to sacrifice two healing and/or utility skills (usually GoH, Sig of Devotion, or Holy Veil). This steers you back toward a prot bar instead of a "do everything" bar, which is perfectly fine as long as you have a second monk/rit/whatever in your group that can heal.
In other words, I AM a fan of Aegis in a pure prot bar, but I just can't find room for it in a ZB/GoH hybrid bar without sacrificing too much healing and/or utility.

The last one.

The other three don't have GoH; GoLE + Aegis is not that necessary in PvE. I'd switch Dismiss with Mend, Holy Veil for Inspired, and you can keep SoA as an optional slot for a capture sig or Sig of Devotion or something.

To me they all look fine but the last one is a little better since it has GoH and if they have mass of hexes you can heal them up.You can use one of those or one of these since I am found of it.Take a look at these onesI am not a big fan of mass of hex degen though more like condition.

This is for PvE as a lone Hybrid Monk. Has absolutely ZERO energy management. xD

This is for PvE as a Pure Prot monk teamed up with a Pure Heal Monk. ZB can be replaced with Restore Condition and Dismiss with Holy Veil. Has quite nice energy management.

sound good?
