If you don't want to be in melee, DO NOT PLAY A MONK. There are 4 other healing classes to play if you want to heal, and it's kind of like playing a Shaman but not liking totems or playing a Druid and not wanting to HoT people. Seriously, play a different class if using one of the class's core mechanics is unappealing to you.
