I've had good luck using this build in areas where there's lots of damage but not too spikey. Please review and rip this apart (remember, this is PvE, not PvP):
Prot = 16
Divine = 13
Smite = 4?
1. Blessed Signit
2. Life Bond
3. Balth's Spirit
4. Divine Boon
5. Energy management skill of your choice
6. Restore Condition {elite}
7. Reversal of Fortune
8. Rebirth
Bond most in your party and then use Blessed Signit like crazy. Cast Balth's Spirit on yourself. Give thanks to any Necro who brings Blood Ritual. Bond others right before battle.
The secret of this build is Balth's Spirit, which gives you +1 energy any time someone takes damage. You'll be swimming in energy during battle, and rarely even have to use Blessed Signit, even with -5 energy degen. This will allow you to use (but not spam) Reversal and Restore. Reversal is also your friend when you start to take heavy damage when others get spiked. Cast it on yourself so you don't die if the other monk isn't watching your health.
The major weakness of this build is not during battle, but between battles, where -5 degen is hard to keep up with.
Any ideas for improvement? I've sometimes ditched the energy mangement in favor of Prot Spirit when in spikey areas, with pretty good success.
