Starting to think more and more that it's time to roll a warrior/mage. I'm 2.0'd and can barely solo trash in LDoN. Meaning I can solo 1-2 at a time on a good day, but 3 is death.
You will feel a NICE boost when you get FG done. Train your skills a the FG trainer and things get much easier. Also, don't discount the sheer damage of a monk 3.0 epic. The DPS gets very sweet and is very noticeable when you get your second 3.0. The click effect I use to draw agro when needed. It's not much more than a light show and a bit of extra dps since EVERYTHING PoT and up is immune to stun.
I have multiple dual 3.0 tunes and a dozen lvl 70 toons of different classes, but my MONK will always be my main. Even as my warrior steals the show more and more into the tiers.
