Monk: Question on Benefits of Offensive vs Defensive Gear

[easy_lee]

Mid level (37) monk on server, and I'm wondering what you guys suggest I prioritize as far as gear. Right now, I spend quite a bit of time soloing, but in groups I'm generally the puller.

It seems simple to me that I want to focus on AC, Strength, and Haste (have an FBSS) for solo. AC and strength seem to have the biggest influence on my general ability to solo.

But for groups, should I focus on other stats? Since I'm often the puller, it seems like resists, stamina, and HP would be my most important stats, followed by AC, since most of the damage I take as a puller comes from spells.

Gear like Robe of Living Fungus, Crown of the Froglok Kings, etc would be better for grouping, whereas Sythrak Hide Vest and FBSS would be important to have for soloing. Then again, if I'm dps in a group, I want the strength gear again, so I'm back where I started.

What do you guys recommend? Should I build for damage, survival, or a mix? Or should I just cough up the change and carry a few pieces to switch out for different situations?
