If I were you, I'd take out Aegis in exchange for Protective Spirit, then I'd take out Divine Intervention for Holy Viel, and finally, Res signet for either Contemplation of Purity or Shielding Hands (if you choose the latter, you have my exact build). I tend to put more attribute in Protection Prayers because I think a few seconds of protection is more useful than a maximum of 12 more health (on my attribute spread), but people like to go either way. (we have a Spike Healer with Infuse anyway).

Not a bad build as it is however i would modify it slightly. If you intend on using this for 8vs8 then certainly keep aegis. If you lookin to mes around in TA or CA drop aegis for contemplation of purity, it is the best hex removal a monk can have and will save you from some of the more lethal anti monk hexes (backfire, migrane, conundrum, souleach, shame, etc). Certainly keep mend, guardian, and reversal. I think that adding protective spirit instead of divine intervention would also be healpful. You wont get that many uses out of divine intervention with its 30 second cooldwon and even then are not guarnteed to have it trigger, protective spirit can be utalized more often. When playing a healer in 4vs4 you could get away with dropping your sig as you are often the only one dying.

Bah and weezer beats me to it :P 1 minute too late at least we said basically the same thing heh

For CA/TA, perhaps this:
Blood:10
Divine:14
Prot:11
(I only put a major on this one, the extra healing isn't too important, and your guardian is woeful at 9 prot-besides, no doubt they're all going for you anyway.)
Reversal of Fortune
Guardian
Divine Boon
Contemplation of Purity
Offering of Blood*
Mend Ailment
Protective Spirit//Shielding Hands
Divine Spirit//Signet of Devotion

Keep in mind when making builds for 4v4, that 80% of characters you will face are warriors or rangers. I think Aegis is far too energy heavy for a boon prot, and I'd think twice about even carrying it in 8v8.
