First off: if you mention the work 'tank' again you will lose any guild wars credibilty you may have. Tanks are useless, warriors who kill things are good.

Plain healing monks = bad, you need at most 2 or 3 of the best heals on a bar, any more of your monk bar devoted to healing is mostly a waste. Here's a pretty basic monk build that works well in most areas:
[skill]Word of healing[/skill][skill]Dwayna's Kiss[/skill][skill]Shielding Hands[/skill][skill]Dismiss Condition[/skill][skill]Cure Hex[/skill][skill]Aegis[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill]

Provides ample healing from the best of the healing line while augmenting from the best of the protection line.

For warriors this works fairly well for me:
[skill]Dragon Slash[/skill][skill]Silverwing Slash[/skill][skill]Sun and Moon Slash[/skill][skill]Savage Slash[/skill][skill]Flail[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]"For Great Justice!"[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Heroes spam Dragon Slash for great damage, not much else to say.

If you are going to make a nuking elementalist, heres a good start:
[skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Mind Blast[/skill][skill]Rodgort's Invocation[/skill][skill]Liquid Flame[/skill][skill]Eruption[/skill][skill]Ward Against Melee[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Provides good nukes while throwing up another 50% blocking and a nuke that simultaneously blinds and lays down the hurt.

As for the rest of your party, here are some ideas: Some form of shutdown for hard caster boss types could be provided by a Broad Head Arrow ranger. A SS necromancer can throw down with the best of them in terms of pain. If you are taking 3 warriors, a single ritualist with the skill Splinter Weapon will make your warriors cleave through large groups like a knife through butter.

Here's what I would recommend:

1. healing monk
2. protection monk
3. minion master
4. warrior or other suitably survivable melee character
5. nuker or other AoE ranged damage-dealer
6-8. someone who can interfere w/ enemy actions or otherwise buff the team, such as a mesmer, ranger, ritualist, blood necro w/ orders/BiP or curse necro w/ SS/barbs/etc

But with only 2 heal other skills you'd have a healer-monk without an effective self-heal.

WoH is no longer a target other heal. Skill description on guru is outdated.
