I just created a new monk and while im still in pre-searing I would like to know what you think is the best 2nd profession for a 55 monk build and why?

Depends on area..

Mes or Warrior

Warrior:

Bonetti's Def (lots enemies)
Balanced Stance (kd enemies)

Mesmer:

Interrupts (nightmares?)
Arcane Echo (maybe you want 2 SoJ?)
Resolve (interrupting enemies:S)

Both have merits.

It really depends on what your up against.

But for all around use Mo/W for sure.

Or you can also go with Ele as secondary, it's so lovely using aftershock with SoJ.

If you are going to use ele for secondary, dont use it for damge...There are many other more useful things you can do, ex.
Ward of stability: anti knockdown, lasts a higher percentage of time than balanced stance.
Grasping Earth: Anti AoE nerf
Whirlwind: Produces a 2 second window in which adjacent attackers cant do anything.
Obsidian Flesh: Lasts longer than spell breaker, but of course you would need to put points into earth.
Glyph of concentration: Anti interrupt
Blurred Vision: Anti attack
Ward Against Melee: Anti melee attacker
Ward Against Foes: Another anti AoE nerf
