Runes:
non needed but +1 +2 +3 or +4 soulreaping can help
Heroes can use this build excelent and with a MM it works even better.

Cast the spirits (heroes dont know that) when the party is full and before battle.
Heal with the rest, and remove conditions with the Weapon of remedy and Mend body and soul
Protect versus melee and archers with Weapon of warding.
Or replace warding with another skill (see second pic)

It's worth mentioning that this works really well, if you take a N/Rt healer with you, a healing monk is obsolete but a protection monk is still needed. The Shield of Regeneration hero build that Frizz posted in monk builds is a really nice complement to this.
