It sounds like a pretty good idea to me and I don't know if it has been posted yet ... 1 of the main problem in monking besides energy management is dying. By using Monk primary and assassin secondary, put in shaodw form in the fray and you can be saved from those heavy spike from ele, sin and war, in addition, saving those energy to heal your teamates rather than yourself.
When assassins primary use it, they usually die right after shadow form ends. But with a monk primary and enough points in divine favor, you can instantly be healed for ~200 health. Works even better if you are a boon prot, where you throw in RoF and you will be back to almost full health in no time.
I have tried this in several RA games and it work very good. Not only did it prevented me from certain deaths, but I tricked a few sins to unleashed their whole combo on me during shadow form which wastes their energy and recharge time.
Have anyone else tried this combination?

You could do the same thing with the ritualist ressurection pot/ spirit. Atleast with the pot as long as you cast it before hand you can still use your elite. Though I admit it might not be too long until a.net makes it so you can't ressurect yourself because you drop it when you die.

In pvp you could get 4 w/rts and just keep using that pot to res themselves over and over again.

Interesting spell but they have to shorten the cool down before I consider it.

How would you manage your energy? And touch skills still get through SF, so RA and TA are out of the question for SF.

by not needing to spend the energy to keep yourself alive as you would without SF, you already saved alot of energy. but yes... i guess there is not direct form of energy management.
