Explanation:

With the ranger buffs to DPS I replaced a warrior with a ranged character. While it doesn't have got the DPS from a warrior and it lacks knockdown it's main advantage is that it can easily switch targets, thus creating overall more pressure.
Magebane ranger is pretty standard, and almost every TA team should have one. Purge + the AoS and MT from the other rangers should be enough to have the off-monk skills.
The reason I chose a Glass Arrow ranger is because of it's spike. My view was that if there's enough pressure a GA ranger can quickly spike down someone in less then a second. Especially when combined with the turret and the magebane firing an interupt on the (off-)monk.
The monk is supplied with 2 defensive skills, as with three hard targets it will most likely be a target of a monk-stomp. May be replaced by a Mo/W or Mo/R.

Strenght:
4x interupt, can be used to control hex-heavy builds and of course you'll be most likely to only need 4-5 kills a match.

Weakness:
No real off-monk, thus making it a hard job for the monk if stomped by dual (SA) sin or dervish.

Improvements.
I really haven't tested it yet, outside of the single skill bars in RA, which proves nothing. I was thinking of:
Replacing the turret with a R/P HaO spear chucker or with a RaO thumper. I don't know if the Turret does more damage then a spear chucker and with a thumper you can get some important knockdowns.
Replacing the Glass Arrow spike with something more usefull, I need your help with that tho.
Discarding the idea and copy a FotM of wiki, if anything else fails

.

When I receive some comments here, I'll grab some friends and test it =)
