What would be the best build for a monk hero when you run HB on monk yourself? Atm I'm running this on a monk hero:

HB build I use:
[HB;OwYS0YITbE/OgRvgfEIDxVyE]

Prot build my monk uses, just something from wiki:
[build;OwUTM0nC3p1dXXJ1juYGoHIAAA]

Any suggestions for a better prot monk to go together with the HB build I'm running?

Why Selfless spirit? The only enchant you'll be casting is Hb, which is only 5 Energy as it is. I'd take Seed of Life personally, and Healing seed in place of Jamei's.
As for the hero, i've heard they run HB badly, so what you're running is probably optimal, although when i ran that, she wouldn't manage her energy very well.

On Tahlkora i run a standard WoH prot hybrid, as it suppports your heals, but with prot to save you in HM. (Prot > HM)

Lose the res skills. Monks should always have an active bar.

As for Blessed Light, it sucks on a hero Monk, as do prot skills. I would suggest you prot and hero heals.

I would run prot on the player and HB on the hero personally. Heroes suck at prot.

Yeah, you should probably swap those builds around. Heroes can healspam just like players do, so give them the heal spam builds.

It's never bad to give your heroes a few prots though, stuff like [Aegis] should be even on healing heroes. Just don't expect to give them single target stuff and hope they put it on before enemies attack. No chance of that happening. As I always say though, its far better to take a hench healer and replace your monk hero with a high damage character.
