BotM is here to keep minions alive between fights not during fights.
Smite monk don't have enough energy for RoJ (due to strength of honor)
Orison of healing is still better than patient spirit for heroes.
Orison of Healing is bad. It's so incredibly bad that there is never any reason to take it once you get half way through the Prophecies campaign.
You're using Healer's Boon to power single target heals, so just ditch it and take Word of Healing - also ditch Orison and Ethereal Light (another pretty poor heal).
Ditch the Prot Monk and stick Prot Spirit, Aegis and perhaps Shield of Absorption on your Nec MM. Also Icy Veins is a trash elite.
Whatever goes in that slot (ideally some sort of Spirit Rit) should be capable of taking Splinter Weapon.
On Patient Spirit:
Patient Spirit has a horrible tendency to cause inefficiencies when played with a second source of heals (e.g. two monks with heals). In the hands of heroes, it can even lead to inefficiencies when there's only a single source.
This is made worse when the Prot Monk has Zealous Benediction, since there's a chance the inefficiency moves from a wasted 5e on the Heal Monk to a wasted 10e on the Prot Monk.
Fortunately, with WoH and DKiss on the Heal monk you don't want to take Patient Spirit anyway.
Also, the reason why your Smite Monk can't fuel RoJ is because it has zero energy management. Not that it matters too much; he serves his purpose by merely maintaining SoH and casting the odd spell under Smiter's Boon.
