Are high end DPS/AC both achievable and how?

[itraylor]

I really like the Emerald 2.0 build (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=369610) but have no intentions of tanking. I am currently playing a The Dark Knight (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=345344) but to be honest, I do not enjoy tanking with intimidate etc. Looking back I much prefer my Fighter and Barbarian lives.

I want to play a monk now but want to have a really nice balance of DPS and AC. I know AC is irrelevant end game and in epics but I still want to build with that in mind. I would like to hit 90+ AC and still deal out copious amounts of DPS. Will the Emerald 2.0 build achieve this? Would I be able to swap some gear around to increase DPS while maintaining some high AC? I hate swapping sets but if I need to I guess I could. Could I swap out a couple toughness feats to increase DPS/AC? Gear is not a problem as I have a good amount built up and can farm odds and ends. Just curious to hear input from Monk experts, thanks!
