Check out the monk guide here in the monk forum that says 60k dps. This guide will show you what type of items you want. I feel that the only thing I need besides what the guide says is about 1k LoH.
Thanks for the reply. I read the 60k dps topic and tried to model my gear on it. I got as close as I could given what was available for a reasonable budget at the time.
I have 1.1k LOH and still pop the second serenity drops off. Will 60k versus my current 45k really make enough of a difference in terms of life leech to stay alive?
Two problems:
-45k versus 60k DPS makes A MASSIVE difference. Dropping an elite in 3-4 seconds versus 15 seconds = life and death.
-Had messed up my spec. I put the blind skill back on that gives you 3 seconds of increased damage. Hit that and blazing wrath and stuff just falls over.

Managed to clear Act3 with quite a few deaths. I die multiple times on elite packs with any of: molten, fire chains, desacrator, lightning.
I have a decent amount I can spend on the gold ah or RMAH and would like to get to the point of being able to mostly faceroll A3.
Any advice/tips/etc are very much so appreciated.

With 60k+ DPS, farming A3 will not have any problem whatsoever, get some LS and HP 45k+ will allow you to play with ease.
Get pickup radius and +life globe too for cheap additional life recovery.
