Comments of a constructive nature are welcome.

:bst::witc::lak:
:exo::femalehero::can:
:mnk::ora::pro:

Skills
BT - 60 beast summon
WIT - 60 meteor strike, 40 mana recharge
LK - 60 light slash
EXO - 50 mana burn, 25 speed cast, 25 mana seal
Axe Main - 60 frozen axe, 40 break down
Can - 60 smoke bomb
Monk - 60 protect, 20 holy guard, 20 awakening
Ora - 60 healing, 40 vortex
Proph - 60 concentrate, 13/13/14 on melee debuffs

The above is the build I currently have planned for upon reaching 100

Current build (note Witch behind main due to low lvl currently)
:bst::femalehero::swm:
:vik::witc::gun:
:mnk::sha::sha:

Suggestions are welcome if they are constructive. Note this is a PvE build so no PvP discussion.

Since Mana recharge appears to work in a line however, I think I need to place witch in with the other staffs as such for best effect as so...

:exo::pro::can:
:mnk::ora::witc:

Also, depending how well Concentrate works I may drop Monk in exchange for something else.

1.Prophet with only 4 melee is not optimal by any means.

2. Since you don't plan on using Seths you should consider staying with shaman instead. Noble sacrifice can be handy. Sure, if you know for sure you'll never ever use NS then go with oracle.

3. You said PvE, why do you want an Exo? They are very situational on PvE and in most cases act as passive buffers and thats about it. You sure you want one?

What do you have in mind regarding the formations focus? Stunning? AoE? Its a bit unclear right now to say the least because you have quite some mixed stuff in there.

Your mana recharge will mainly be getting used on your exo and prophet due to their passive abilities sucking mana. Its very rare in pve that I find my monk or healer needing mana. That said, in pve I use the witch for meteor storming adds 90% of the time instead of mana recharging. She doesn't have to be in the row she's recharging though so if you'd rather have her on the back line that's fine.

Concentrate works very well, but you want the Monk to deal with stun counters, Concentrate doesn't help there.

"in pve u really can run it anyway u want" -- Pretty much agree with this. If you're just pve'ing I think you can really go wild and experiment since you've got a lot of margin for error.
