Saw a comment yesterday that really rung true to me about monk: "We finally have a versatile, interesting monk! .....All it took was for it to be a bard subclass" (referring to the college of dance, which gets unarmored defense and unarmed strikes)
On a serious note, though, overall the monk is pretty bleh IMO. It nerfed the monks strongest ability (stunning strike), which was not unexpected, but it gets little in the way to make up for it, which i feel is going to leave the monk behind overall.
