Monk AA Tank Build?

[glass2break]

<DIV>Ok so I'm going to be doing some raid tanking for my guild.  Specifically the princes and was wondering if there are any other monks out there that can give me some advice on my aa build.  I'm thinking sta and int will be the best lines.  Maybe something like sta 4-4-4-8 then int 4-4-4-8 so i will have 9 aa left (1 spent into favorable wind of course).  Maybe get eagle shriek ( 8 points) and 1 more into the melee crit.  Although Eagle Spin sounds very useful so I could max that at 8 but i couldnt get Eagle Shriek.  Any info is appreciated.  Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV>That's the tank build I'd go with.</DIV>

As a die-hard-tank fan, I'd go with:INT 4-4-8-8-1STA 4-4-4-5We will get our Deflection & Parry reduced by 5% by EoF launch. Our Parry is our lowest percantage defense, (mine is around 16%). So I took liberty to put my points in Parry for future build. We don't know sub-class achievements yet , but for now, this build sounded logical to me. Eagle Shriek was my best selection from my practical usage, at least giving healers more time to re-heal if so emergency (also great help on solo)And took criticals to max to increase my hate gain even out of mana by just going auto-attack.
