I've been trying to make an original support paragon build for the past few days, but nothing seems to work. My goal is to support the party's monk and dish out some damage as well (I don't have to but its a nice plus). I've been using Angelic Bond to help relieve the Monk's duties, but I lack any other good skills to support it. What should I do?

Imbagon is the pretty generic Paragon support bar, but you mentioned in your first sentance you wanted original. You could try playing around with Song Of Restoration, Ballad Of Restoration then some other Motivation skills depending on the rest of your party (Chorus Of Resoration if you have lots of shouts, Aria Of Zeal if you have lots of casters, Zealous Anthem if you have many physicals).

You could then finish up the bar with a few spear attacks, I like a combo of Balzing Spear and Spear Of Fury, but Spear Of Lightning, Vicious Attack and Merciless Spear also work well.

"Go For The Eyes!"
"There's Nothing To Fear!"
"Find Their Weakness!'
Defensive Anthem {E}
Spear of Fury
Signet of Return
Aggressive Refrain
-PvE skill optional-

I think "Go For The Eyes!" can power all of that, being the only adrenaline skill on the bar anyway. For the optional I'd suggest Breath of the Great Dwarf for more support, Ebon Battle Standard of Honor for more offense or one of the Norn shouts, possibly Great Dwarf Weapon depending on whether adrenaline boosts are available in the group make up.

13/12/9 or 14/12/7 if you have access to a 15 AL req 7 shield.

Well, the Motivation line is full of stuff to make Monks a powerhouse. Try mixing 'TPiY!' (inoinoino) with 'GftE!' and Energizing Finale. These two spammed with finale should give all the energy Monks need, now that SS is nerfed anyhow, Whilst giving some support to the rest of the team. If you don't want to throw that much into it just bring Aria of Zeal.
