I've read all around and trying to get dex, vit, pois res, all res, crit dmg, crit chance and god knows what else to be able to kill something and still be alive is getting really confusing.
What type of problems are you having? What act are you working on? a few more details would help.
Your resist is a little low, but not bad. I found that 700 made A3 a lot easier.
Your LOH is a little low, but not bad. I found that 800-1000 worked best for me.
Your Dex is a little low, but not bad.
All in all. With that gear you should be easily farming in A2 and progressing in A3.
So its either LoH or LS? Are there any monks doing fine through all inferno with out any of those two?
Plenty. As you get higher dps you can rely on the health globes that monsters drop. Around the 50k or so mark you can just get som pickup radius on your gear and soak those orbs in.
With even higher dps you can kind of get rid of even that and just burst through everything in 1 serenity, but thats when you get to around 100k unbuffed dps.
As for your monk your hp is hideously low. As for your resists, well, they would be fine if you had 8x your dps to go with it. Upgrades for your shoulders, hands and boots shouldn't be too hard to find. Shoulders and boots focus on defensive, and go as much offence on the gloves as you can afford
Your resistances seem to be in a really good place at the moment. The hp is still a bit low, not so low that it isn't manageable, but still a bit low. Shoulders and helm (second ring as well, but you have good resistances on that one, so I would keep it) seem like the best places to pull that out. Keep the good stats (res + dex) and add on vit on your new items and you have a solid monk.
Feel free to add me ingame if you have any more questions though (my profile and battletag is in my signature)
200 LoH is way too low. You should also try a lil more resists, monks doesn't really have all that high killing speed (just look at paragon progression :P) but should easily survive some of the most dangerous mobs in the game with ease.
Also, you have quite low armor. 10 Armor = 1 All resistance, so you should try to get some more of it, as it will also greatly boost your survival.
Depending on Play style, A3 farming is doable at 45k+ dps.
For easy going, you should have at least 600 AR and 6k armor.
As for life sustanability, you can have a combination of LOH, LS, life globe and LAK.
As you;ve got more gold to boost DPS, you try to get more LS, which goes very well with DPS, and at the same time AR, armor and life sustain elements can be gradually reduced to further boost DPS.
This is for 1.0.4, and some revision might be needed for 1.0.5.

I've found all kinds of builds from no LoH just raw DPS to high LoH and less DPS. Which would be the way to go?
I mean aren't monks supposed to not only take damage but to deal it as well?
Thanks for all your suggestions
