so, monk is equivalent to paladin in WoW in terms of oh-pee-ness and degree of nerfs received??

with the bug exploit of clever use of game mechanics with 'quickening' for spirit regeneration and no-cool-down healing skills, just made it sounded like paladin class during last WoW expansion, making the class able solo tanking few players in battle ground

excerpt from some sites:
Sweeping Wind + Fist of Thunder(Quickening) = Infinite spirit

too bad it is patched...
