Usage

 * Yeah, this is pretty much Mo/any 55hp Solo Monk with a different attribute distribution. I put my priorities first with mine: damage (smiting prayers), and the much-overlooked divine favor healing bonus.  Since you'll pretty much always be maintaining Healing Breeze and Protective Spirit, you have a continual source of a +42 health boost with divine at 13.  Healing Prayers is at 9 so that mending is +3 and breeze is +7.  Prot is at 9 because it really doesn't need to be any higher since we have both Blessed Aura and our Totem Axe lengthening enchantments.
 * This build works well on both the trolls outside Drokar's Forge and the Minotaurs in Elona Reach.
 * You can kill the Avicara mob that usually spawns between Droks and the troll cave as well if they get in your way but since Avicara Braves use Savage Slash it requires a little pre-setup and some baiting of interrupts. Watch out for the Fierce's Dual Shot, especially in combination with Ignite Arrows.  It spikes and spikes well, but can be dealt with.
 * Simply cast all four maintained enchantments and use Blessed Signet out of battle to get energy back.
 * Use Protective Spirit before encountering enemy mobs and maintain it to keep yourself alive. But you knew that.
 * Against trolls, remember not to chain cast. This will typically result in the second spell being interrupted, which is usually bad if it's Protective Spirit.
 * When you're in battle, Balthazar's Spirit and Essence Bond combined with having a lot of things on you makes the energy flow quite well.
 * Shield of Judgment will last long enough (about 3/4 of its recharge) to kill a minotaur or a troll in a single cast. For best results make sure they're all bunched up on you before casting it.
 * Healing Breeze is necessary, with it and Mending you'll have 10 health regen. You might need a divine favor heal every now and then but generally you're good to go.
 * If you feel like it, buy a few scrolls of Berzerker's Insight and activate one when all the monsters get close to death. I generally find that the scrolls cost more than I typically get per run from selling everything, though.
 * I used a Zealot's Fire variant for quite a while until I realized that it didn't really affect the speed at which I could kill things very much. Also, it makes starting up against a group a bit irritating because you'll end up causing aoe scatter when doing healing breeze->SoJ.  While you could intentionally cause the scatter if too much stuff was on you, the small bit of extra damage it gave just wasn't worth it in the long run.
 * I tried Arcane Echoing SoJ, but due to the length of SoJ, the echoed copy disappeared before I could use it. There's very little downtime with a high divine Blessed Aura and a Totem Axe anyway, and it's not like it's that hard to tank anything that's still alive during the downtime.
 * I understand using Bonetti's Defense for a W/Mo solo farm build where you have to have damage mitigation and a method of getting energy back, but why would a 55 monk want it? It just slows down the deaths of the enemies.
