Did I say this was better then a hybrid bar?
Did I say this was the best bar out there?

The OP is looking for useful ways to incorperate LoD. This bar allows you to spam party heals in a situation where you're fighting mobs with AoE spells and good DPS. This bar will still prevail on someone running WoH where all the party is taking damage from spells like SS. Yes, that can be removed, but there are often cover hexes that mobs will throw on the target.

[skill]holy haste[/skill][skill]light of deliverance[/skill][skill]heal party[/skill][skill]glyph of lesser energy[/skill][skill]cure hex[/skill][skill]dwayna's kiss[/skill][skill]dismiss condition[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

Our other monk was a bonder, you guessed right. His bar looked something like:

[skill]balthazar's spirit[/skill][skill]life attunement[/skill][skill]life bond[/skill][skill]protective spirit[/skill][skill]reversal of fortune[/skill][skill]zealous benediction[/skill][skill]spirit bond[/skill][skill]blessed signet[/skill]

Depending on where you are. 1. Running LoD + Holy Haste on a human monk is a terrible idea because you have to sacrifice all of your prot. No prot on a human monk is simply inexcusable.

2. Running LoD + Holy Haste on a hero monk isn't that bad of an idea, assuming you're the second monk and carry all of the essential prots (PS, SoA, and Aegis at the very least). Hero monks suck hard with prot anyway, so I see no problem dropping it from their bars.

3. If you're going to run LoD + Holy Haste on a monk hero, you should probably fix your LoD + Holy Haste build, because it's pretty bad.

Hero monk LoD + Holy Haste bar should look like this:
[skill]holy haste[/skill][skill]light of deliverance[/skill][skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill][skill]Ethereal Light[/skill][skill]Signet of Rejuvenation[/skill][skill]Mend Condition[/skill][skill]Cure Hex[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

The bar you posted below is usually what my hero monks run with it, except they use dismiss condition instead of mend.
