is such a class breakdown a real hindrance to making this char again?

i'd probably go LD in terms of destiny, i've just done that on my bard and was completely blown away by it (having said that i've not done the EA side of the destiny tree!).
I'd personally go 18/2 now, just because mass heal gives a lot more benefit. In addition, monk levels are of limited use if you can't get a really high reflex save, and /2 Fighter gives more benefit than /2 Monk imo.
