Default For H/H, monk or paragon?

For h/h'ing through pve, given the ridiculously high damage reduction of the imbagon, would playing a paragon be better/easier for party-wide defense and damage reduction with SY! (what I always thought to be the point of prot spells) than a monk (who doesn't seem to greatly benefit from such pve skills)? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing a monk, and they are necessary. However, I'm just curious if it would make more sense for me to play an imbagon if my goal was to effectively and efficiently play a key role in keeping the party from dying (with h/h's playing healer instead)?

Thanks.

Meh Prot monks are useless in H/h just use Healing monks.

Playing paragon will be the easiest thing to do, especially with a build like the imbagon being available.
Playing with H/h is also easier on a para because on a monk, you'll still have to call target, stay within range of the enemie,.. for the h/h to attack something.

And Pleikki, how can prot monks be useless in H/h teams ?

Healing doesn't matter nearly as much as protting in Hard Mode.

Sabway says hey!
You have what ... Aegis and Protective Spirit in there? And that's kinda all the protection you need for PvE. Well, next to a wall of minions ....


On-topic:
Para.
Always.
Because of the way the para works - a damage-dealer with protective abilities - it's a much better option then a monk for h/h.
You are going to need to direct your h/h to attack the right targets - so you might as well do some sweet damage while you are at it.
