Use
This build is really easy to use, the main principle behind it is to echo Aegis.
Before the party enters combat, cast Echo followed by Aegis. As soon as Aegis starts to flicker cast the copy of Aegis. With a weapon that halves recharge of protection prayers skills, you should be able to cast aegis three times before worrying about any recharge time.
Use Protective Spirit etc. on anyone who is taking damage, remove hexes and conditions as and when. If you are up againt monster hexes, replace Remove Hex with Inspired Hex and put spare attributes into Inspiration Magic.
This build can be tough on energy, but is very effective - particularly in some of the tougher areas.

Since aegis was nerfed a long time ago to only affect party members in earshot there is little point in echoing it as people like to run away from the monks to go and fight. Go figure...

Good tag, bad reasoning lol

good >energy is to 15 energy,
bad> earshot just takes up good positioning of the monk, has nothing to do with the build :P

New energy cost is only temporary (or so I'm told). To quote wiki : This is a "temporary tournament update" targeted at the final cash-prize tournament, which will take place at the end of April. The skill changes are temporary and will be in effect for only two weeks. They are all geared toward addressing the most immediate issues with Guild Battles. In order to reduce the possible negative impact on PvE play, ArenaNet will be reverting the changes on May 1st.  ;p

The energy cost of Aegis has been reverted back to 10.
