Pretty much what the title says. Any significant changes to the monk over the past year or so that I should be aware of if I get back into Guild Wars?

Healing burst... that's probably it.

Alright, thanks.

Yeah Healing Burst is pretty nice these days, but apart from that its less a change to a monk and maybe not in the past year, but if ur talking pve ER Bonders are still superior to monks in areas without lots of enchantmnet removal.

ArenaNet still hasn't fixed this? Wow.

Healing Burst is better than WoH most of the time. It heals for 140-150 unconditionally + 30-40ish for everyone in earshot , depending on your DF level. The only downside is 1 more recharge. WoH heals for [email protected], 203 conditionally.

It's worse...

Dervs are now to monks' party healing as ERs are to monks' protting and single target healing, ie they absolutely shit over the best the monk can do. A single AoD Derv spamming enchants (while doing damage with a scythe and/or upkeeping can't-die-mode-SY) can heal something like 50% better then a UA monk spamming Heal Party with a permanent BiPer supplying them energy. Ohh and the Derv heals minions at the same time, to add insult to injury.

Basically, non-smite monks are near useless except for parties that don't know or don't care enough to use the better classes.

That sucks. How about 600/smite, I was around when it got hit with an initial nerf. Has it recovered? Got worse?

Since Holy Wrath nerf, no one uses 600/smite. You can get by with Shield of Judgment but it's painfully slower.
