I never lose GL on WP/AK bosses, Chimera, Hydra, Turn 1 and Turn 2. Unlike bards I never have to nerf my damage just to feed heals/melee resources.

Stack GL to 3, IR > BfB > howling fist > PB > rockbreaker like mad. Unless you have a good tank you will be tanking doing that. Monk AoE is very good while cooldowns are up, and it isn't bad when they aren't.
