As far as the original topic is concerned: I'm soloing in HS now as a 58 Shaman. I occasionally run into undead oblations (wizard mobs) that cast magic- and fire-based nukes. They were basically a show-stopper without resist gear (I'm sitting at 42MR and 45FR unbuffed). I dragged some resist gear out from my bank, bought a couple of other pieces, and now I've got about 145 in each with buffs. I still take full damage now and then, but the majority of the time the nukes are partially or fully resisted. Now I can dot the hell out of them, root, and run around a corner without dying.
As a Monk, though, you're very limited in the resist gear you can wear, and obviously you can't buff yourself for that extra 40 points. I'm not sure I'd even bother as a solo Monk.

I solo in HS on my monk in the basement occasionally when there's nothing else to do, and oblations are my favourite targets. Most of the time the oblation will only cast ONE spell, from the initial pull, and then not be able to cast any of the other ones due to the insane monk melee push with epic fist / AC or SoS. The initial cast I can't do much about unless an AC proc goes off due to the wizard DS.
