Probably? Looks like some E-management problems to me though, probably need a full set of +2 energy runes ect and a +20 energy staff to help.

If you grind your Asuran up to about 6 (8 even better) via books or whatever, this build is reasonably effective (variation on that other one I will claim credit for):

[build=OAZEY4ZJvIZMgKsWyDxOAXmKCAA]

Modify for a monk and put attribute points wherever appropriate.

Cast 1-2-3 at the entrance and do a VERY EFFICIENT AGGRO (avoid running behind the stone pillar if you can) before mindbender runs out. If you start activating 4 and 5 before you get massively swamped, you usually don't get interrupted. Interruptions are always the problem so it is critical you don't let Mindbender run dry or you are dead (its fast casting that you need). A 20% Enchanting staff is a must (40% HCT is helpful too).

It really is a terrible build compared to the mesmer or ele (mantra of resolve) but it gets the job done. For the necro, I used [weaken armor] for the last spell (actually surprisingly effective). I've never tried a monk so you can figure out a something worthwhile for that last spell.

[protective spirit][shielding hands][Shield of Absorption][Ray of Judgment][radiation field][optional][mantra of resolve][balthazar's spirit]

Something like that was what i used last time i did it as a Monk with /Me. Maybe not the fastest build out there, but does the job (the optional should be used for some sort of selfhealing because of the boss does bleeing.)
