Need Paladin/Monk Solo build

[posdrums]

I recently ran into a guy who was running something along the lines of 6 Pal/2 Monk/1 Wiz
This was my first time seeing a build like this, and I was quite impressed by it's viability.
He had great stats, all across the board. Great health, mana, saves, ac. Unfortunately
I had to jet before I could get a chance to ask him how he made such a wonderful character.
And I haven't seen him on since.

Anyways, I was wondering if I could get help making such a build. I want to make a character
that is built as perfect as possible, so I could play him seriously, do end game content and
eventually TR.

So to make a tidy list, here is what I'm looking for:
1) Paladin primary class
2) Makes use of monk's granted abilities
3) Effective solo build early on
4) Self sufficient in groups and elites
5) (Perhaps integrate rogue for evasion, would it be possible to get a decent DD skill with only a few rogue levels?)

A little more info about the toon I ran into, he used a quarter staff, I imagine to stay centered. But when I look at his character on my.ddo now it shows him using a greatsword. I wish I could ask him the logic behind it but I haven't been able to talk to him. Can anyone care to guess why? Wouldn't he be incapable of benefiting from the monk part of his character?

Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give me.
I hope I'm not asking much, I'd like to take this game seriously, so I don't want to make any mistakes in making my character.
