But the reason im considering ele as a first is that they get the energy storage abilities..

Not sure which is better, but from my perspective, Your more likely to find pugs in pve that will take you in as a monk healer vs a ele healer.

As soon as you have a good build that works but doesn not fit expected norm, harder to find group due to people not wanting to try new things.

If you do ele/mo I would advertise yourself as a secondary or back up healer due to most groups can't find a monk or a 2nd monk and you should get taken up in a pug.

Personally, I'd go for more of an EP ward/prot-spammer if you go E/Mo. That could be good, but you'd have to play it differently than a regular monk.

If you want a straight-up healer, though, I think monk primary for DF is important. You're getting about 25-33% of your healing for free as a Mo/ rather than an E/. Another problem with E/Mo healers is that they have more energy to spam heals, but even with that energy you can only spam so fast because of recharge times; if you're heals aren't enough to keep up with damage and you're fighting against recharges, you're teammates are going to drop. Bottom line, monk primaries have lots of options for energy management that don't require giving up DF, so I'd explore those options before you consider going E/Mo (for a healer anyway).
