Hmm, not sure how much my DPS will be. But it'll be a crit based build.

What stats? How much?

Having decent LoH and high resists just makes it easier to stand there and tank molten/plagued but of course you'll kill them slower.

With the dps build, get 2 weps with decent dps with dex/crit dmg and socket. That'll cost the most. Try to stay away from spears and mace, best is swords/fist.
Then you'd want to get crit on most of your gear, which is pretty cheap, your main crit damage comes from your weapons as it is expensive to get it on rings/amulet/gloves for double crit.

Try to always get your resist you're stacking on each slot if possible, you won't need much resists, but more is always better. Dex is a huge dps boost once you hit high enough crit and those damage modifiers are really good.

As for pricing, loh is cheaper but you forgo killing speed for survivability, with the dps build you'll kill stuff real fast except for shielding. You'd just have lots of problems with shielding + molten or shielding + whatever.

You kill stuff in a matter of seconds, and most of the time if you meet shielding is either you burst them down real fast or you have to start kiting lol, as I dont have much resist and LoH

You dont have any IAS at all. So, just the 15% of dual wield is enough? I am saving money for this build! I am hoping for some IAS too... but damn expensive...

IAS not really needed unless you're using maces/spears, I try to not get below 1.3 but prices of swords/fists/daggers with good stats are too pricey.

If you can afford IAS then go ahead, but it is not 100% necessary. The 15% from dual wield is enough as long as you stay away from mace/spears.

Since you have high Dex, you dodge chance should be damn high too. Why not use Guardian Path to add additional dodge and use Backslash rune for Evasion?

I run guiding light when I party(16% dps is huge for me and my party members) and I don't farm alone anymore cause I farmed too much act 3 lol.

Also if I solo, I use guardian path but not backlash because I want the burst from Overawe. I feel that the burst from overawe is better once you get higher dps compared to backlash. Backlash is good for lower dps, but its all about preference, and I prefer to use overawe for burst, especially good against shielding mobs

edit : also i prefer to not rely on the dodge chance for burst dps, as i hate fighting shielding, and i'm sure every monk hates fighting against shielding

NICE. I like burst type of damage too. Really like this type of game play. Although I still have low DPS (28k), this is how I like to play. (Against shielding...)

What i meant is shielding + molten or something stupid, usually I get to kill them off real quick then have to walk around, I love invul minions as they die even faster due to having lower health

OMG! i just notice your resist is just 493 523?! You are even more daring then me. I have 630 resist now, but I still think 700 is what I need... so that I can get a bit lazy

566 resist! lol
Its enough but more is always good, good gear with double resists and nice stats too pricey for me. The best party is a melee party, 3 monk 1 barb. As long theres a barb for shout, everything is easier lol, doesn't matter if he has good stats or not, as long he shouts, its all cool

Best you have 700+ minimally to survive longer.

Tried play play with my monk on 600+ resistance, cannot tahan at all.

I have moved to Barb already, wah Barb really imba. :-)

But Monk have better survivability compare to Barb.
