So I went and LR'd to pick up Shintao, and here's a couple of observations.

Protection from evil may count as a light move, but for whatever reason, does not count as a light move in regards to finishers. So doing fire->protection->fire does not allow for walk of the sun.

I have no group members to grab aggro, so I cannot speak towards the bonus sneak attack damage.

candy cane no longer makes you uncentered.

smite timer is 30 seconds, and with 6 monk, using a +5 holy burst pure good q-staff a non-crit smite was 58-68 (normal damage there is 33-38). Didn't see a crit yet.
