I don't know how I'd make a dex based monk work well, but strength based is fine. At the moment my feats include power attack, cleave and martial weapon(glaive) - any bonuses I get from charge or flanking etc I just turn into power attack normally.Not a twinked out monk by any means, but building him with melee in mind has made him a fine melee fighter alongside the party tank.On the positive side, with your huge wisdom your PC probably has the best spot chance in the whole party, right? If your DM calls for spot checks as often as my DM does, the rest of the party will love you for that alone!I think the weapon focus and weapon finesse were probably bad choices for your monk; they offset the avg BAB a little but don't really give you new capabilities you can take advantage of.If it is allowed, and considering you are a tiefling, I think a better choice than rogue would be to start taking levels in assassin. It would give you the sneak attack, a death attack, useful spell(s) (starting with truestrike... it would give you an unbeatable disarm!)Cheers</blockquote>
