Try a 1 hander and a shield. The boost in armor is very useful. That'd mean your passive, The Guardian's Path, would become worthless, but it's ok: you can replace that with something like Seize the Initiative or One with Everything (assuming you have decent resistances stacked up already).
Also, picking up these vibes from your post: you don't need to stick to the Monk-only weapons. The others work just as well, if not better sometimes depending on stats.
You may also like Deadly Reach with the Keen Eye rune. Extra armor is good. Also, either use Time of Need with Mantra of Healing, or switch to Mantra of Evasion and use Hard Target. Boon of Protection isn't that good these days (or its replacement). Also, maybe use the spirit generating rune with Sweeping Wind, so you can get more spirit to spend which then becomes more healing with the passive.

Im weilding a Diabo, approx 30% dodge(due to dex) and about 22k HP.
Any pointers ? Should i be using a Diabo or go back to fist weapons or 1h/1h ?
