Mostly PHB3 and Psionic power. You take all the defensive feats you can and take the con based monk build in psionic power. Wh2en you flurry you prevent shifts which makes you sticky. You build mostly the same though by taking AOE powers and getting in the middle of a large group.

Here is the monk guide if you want to look.
