Simple combination of the Healer and Bonder to retain damage output. You need a decent monk to pull this off. Headpiece swapping action on the monk is key. You should be able to clear the place out as fast as a 5-man group using the momentum of minions.

This build will get you killed horribly half of the time. Plenty mobs can stripe enchantment and there is no way in a big battle the monk can keep up with the heal AND re-bond. Also notice how newb this monk build is - there is no dwayna's kiss for monk and no dolyak for stance *shake head*. Here is the real time-tested 4-man SF group:

Monk

Healing 12+4)
Prot 11+4 (only use +4 when initial bonding)
Favor 8

Blessed Signet
Essence Bond
Life Attunement
Life Bond
Heal Area / Healing Touch (depends on preference, elite monks would use heal area since they can position themselves to heal allies as well)
Rez Signet
Dwayna's Kiss
Word of Healing / Healing Hands (again, Word of Healing is superior if you know how to use it)

Tank - any stance tank with full cycle of stances
Must have: Dolyak plus any 15 second stance to complete the cycle
The above bulid has balthazar + adrenaline stance, I don't recommend it because when you getting hit by 10+ guys and someone strip you enchant, you are pretty much screwed for half of your stance cycle.

SS - must have shiver

MM

That's it

if you dont want do re-bond, use spellbreaker wih blessed aura and 20% longer encht. no u dont have to worry about taskmasters, wardens abd dark binders.
dont use essence bond as a bonder. blathasars spirit on yourself is the better option.
