9AM Central Time May 23 2012 - BLIZZARD HAS HOTFIXED BOON OF PROTECTION AND COMPLETELY SCREWED IT OVER. I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW, I DON'T EVEN KNOW... Anyway, the build still works just not NEARLY as well. You can swap Boon for Time of Need or Circular Breathing.We're in the process of removing the on-use benefits of the Mantra of Healing rune, Boon of Protection. The hotfix change is: "Amount of damage absorbed is now capped at the amount of healing provided by Mantra of Healing in the first 3 seconds after activation".
It's essentially being nerfed to the point of obsolescence until we can implement a new rune in its place in a future patch. Huzzah! Here's how my Monk tank works  I also made a post on the Blizzard Monk forums.

Wtf, how is this such an issue of severity when things like Diamond Skin + Force Armor and Shadow Cloak + Preparation exist?

Yeah... I don't fucking get it... what the flying fucking fuck... How is a scaling heal broken? This was the whole reason that I wanted to play this character... |

We purposely launched the game with Inferno being far more difficult than what we were able to progress in ourselves, assuming people would find it as difficult but with a few skilled players able to pull it off, or the difficulty would simply help root out problem skills and builds that allowed flaw-filled progression possibilities.
I think the main problem we’re running into is people progress more or less linearly to Inferno, and the brick wall effect makes it seem like these broken skills were the correct way to overcome the difficulty because the belief is that Inferno must be an immediately surmountable challenge, which it isn’t intended to be. Or the reverse, that because these skills allowed progression the classes that did not have them were too weak/broken, which isn’t correct.
We’ll provide a bit more info/context on Inferno tuning through an article we’re working on for the front page. |

He's talking about the Demon Hunters/Mages that are crying because they can no longer solo Act 2/3/4. My Monk couldn't do much of anything in Act 2. The gear wall was working just fine-- I've spent like 3 million on the AH and my tank gear is fucking good, I deserve to be able to tank Act 1 Inferno... Now my character just can't tank at all, but Barbs can still do this:
Oh yes, Blizzard, clearly my ability was broken and needed a nerf. |

It doesn't help that the people that got to Act 4 Inferno already are farming insta-kill bosses for multi-million gold gear and funneling it to their friends in addition to the AH.
Pretty sure that Barb is one of the funnel recipients.

Lmao barbs are the weakest inferno class in the game by far, just because one guy got farmed the best possible gear in the game doesn't mean the class is broken.
