To be honest, to tank as a monk you only really need guardian, spell breaker, and some sort of healing skill in case something slips through guardian.

Which will last a total of ~15 seconds, as Spellbreaker will run out.

Or you could cast it on a target with, say 100 armor and let them tank. Oh wait, that'd be just like monking. That's no fun.

Dont forget you can also upgrade your armor to increase the amount of energy you have... Radiant Insignias... You could also try and search for weapons and foci with higher + to energy...

Or you could always add balz spirit...

Or you can go Mesmer secondary and add Channeling...

Though I am not sure why you feel the need to tank, but if so, why not add some skills like Shield of Judgement, Zealot's fire, reversal of damage....
