Armor Tank Monk everyone wants to be around

[Such Violent Storms]

Another build thingy focusing on Armor and support (like a metal bra).

-- Spam DR and Cyclone Strike. +50% Armor as you furiously click that left mouse button. CS' damage and pull-in effect are awesome, helping monsters focus on you and ensuring sexy Resolve action. The wide heal buffs everyone's damage with Guiding Light, and is the only spot heal a Monk can spam.
-- Hard Target to provide some dodge and buff everyone's armor
-- STI because duh

Variants: There's some interchangeable runes and skills. Some might not like Inner Sanctuary, or Serenity. Transcendence is also an option, depending on how much heal/spirit you get from items.

It looks nice but I don't really know if I'd wanna use that Cyclone Strike on inferno. Maybe on ranged mobs but do you really want to be surrounded by hard hitting melee? Well I guess we won't know till we find out. Interesting build though. Hope it works.

It all depends on your gear and the composition of your party, really. Maybe there's a freeze wizard. Or stun barbarian. Or 2 other Monks. Lots of factors, but in general I think it would work quite awesomely.

IMO:
Guardians Path > Guiding Light
Crippling Wave + Concussion > Deadly Reach + Keen Eye

For a tank build. I can appreciate the +armor from keen eye, but I'm not so sure it'll be as effective as concussion. And the +damage is nice from Guiding Light, but with all that damage your going to be taking from cyclone strike that extra survivability from guardians path may come in handy.
