Divine Favor
Divine favor consists mainly of enhancement spells. Some of these spells make other spells cost less mana, buffs for you and your party, and bonuses to your healing spells.

Healing Prayers
Healing prayers govern spells that deal with healing and resurrection. If you plan on being a Monk, than this is a must. You can't be a monk and not be able to heal your party, so make sure you focus in this.

Protection Prayers
Protection prayers are exactly what they sound like, protection spells that prevents the bearer from damage or being hit altogether. Some protections even act as a buff enhancing different stats.

Smiting Prayers
Different from all the other Monk spells, these deal damage to the target. The smiting prayers consist of insta damage, DoTs and other effects that cause spells to reflect or prevent them altogether. If your primary spells are monk spells than you will need this to deal damage.

..::Outtro
In closing, the Monk is a pretty fun character to play as long as you match yourself up with a powerful secondary or primary profession to go along with Monk.
In PvP, i've fought many powerful Warrior/Monks. They are extremely strong unless matched up against a strong nuking team.
I've played Elementalist/Monk and I've found it to be a very powerful combo as well. I was able to nuke out massive amounts of damage and simultaneously heal my party to keep the party alive.
