Outside of nightmarish, frozen and the occasional getting way over my head by running through a metric #### ton of monsters the reason I die is I get 'unlucky' and my revenge doesn't activate....which is actually why frozen and nightmarish kill me because it obviously can't during those times.
big difference is that revenge is % based, while all the monks healing spells are a flat number, so they don't scale with increased vitality. with 40k health my biggest healing spell will fill between 1/8 and 1/5 of my health pool, and it's on a 15 second cooldown. the only way i've seen monks become viable in inferno is by stacking life on hit gear, which is ridiculously expensive. and thanks to the repair costs i can't even farm gold at a decent rate, i'm lucky to break even
