"Casting will always be interuppted [sic] upon receiving direct damage."

[Rhas]

except you cant kite cause you cant move and cast and since any hit is 100% and you AM can be counter with shoulder tackle so IF you do go to the healer you just put the monk right in the best spot possible.

Any direct hit. (does not affect DoT's) Have you seriously forgotten about our instants? (which includes aetherial manipulation) For moving I have scathe and fire III proc and an instant proc on thunder. Lets not forget to mention transpose for mp regen. Now what happens if I add in swiftcast and surecast?

I'm sure you can get the picture that its probably not going to be a one sided fight you think it will be. I've 'kited' plenty of mobs I shouldn't have been able to in ARR already and solo killed plenty of NM fates on my BLM as well.
