i've been farming like crazy for the last couple of weeks and this is what i am using in groups with an abundance of experienced people.

attributes:
12 str
12 tactics
12 sword +1 hat+ 3 superior
( at 12 crit chance is ~17% and decent average damage and IMO axes only excel at a higher attribute)
rest in shadow arts

1. drunken blow
2. desperation blow ( or distracting blow;interrupt death nova/ restoration )
3. shove
4. balanced stance
5. dolyak signet
6. shield stance
7. recall
8. death's charge ( yes, no rez sig* )

*explanation:
whenever i was part of a good group or decent group i never used rez sig with the exception of using it on on uncareful BIP necros at kanaxai who sacced to death.
so i started considering its a waste to bring it.
if 4 monks die who are supposed to bring rebirth.. theres something really wrong. if your monk dies in one of the 4 rooms at the start then at least one of the 3 people in that room have no idea what they are doing.

skill explanation:
you are supposed to be tank here so you will be in one of the stances most of the time and/or dolyak. with 2 stances making you immune to knockdowns those 2 attacks can be used without problem.
mobilty is low and this is where deaths charge can be a great help ( and great fun ) to teleport to a foe and immediatly shove him to get his attention.
this may take some time to get used to but i love it and with good use of recall and deaths charge you have a very nice escaping ability in case 4 ripper carps in front of you have balthazars aura on them and you get the spanking of your life.

some people may think this build is too energy heavy or you have a problem at the apect of depletion but its working very well for me and you can switch to your zealous sword whenever you get the urge.

I would say, why would a Healer bring Rebirth... but then I remembered all healers do in that mission is spam heal party, and occassionally remove a condition.

i guess it wasnt clear enough..

11 str +1 minor = 12
11 tactics +1 minor = 12
8 sword +1 helm +3 superior = 12
3 shadow arts
