Thanks for the insight. Going to try out the monkey now as possible new main.

Very nice, in-depth guide that will pretty much explain everything you need to know if you want to play Wukong. Definitely one of the better Wukong guides out there.

A few points:

I completely agree with your choice to put 21 mastery points into defense and where you put them, I'm not sure about the rest though. While movement speed is obviously very useful, I think Wukong would benefit more from the armor penetration and attack speed in the offense tree.
Consider adding some alternative rune choises. For example, armor marks and quints for laning against champions like Riven, Renekton, etc, flat MR for laning against AP carries (I know you briefly mention this, but I think they should be added in) and flat AD. I know you talk about why you prefer not to get flat AD but they do actually give Wukong quite a nice edge in the lane and they actually scale better into lategame if you buy Last Whisperer.
I think Warmog's Armor deserves a little more credit. Your main build seems a little on the low side on health and being someone who's generally going to be in the middle of a teamfight, you might need the extra bulk. I agree Guardian Angel is an excellent item, it's a bit less reliable due to its long cooldown.
I think Doran's Blade also deserve more credit. Considering Wukong's great AD ratio's, they do a lot for his early game strenght and are very good for lane dominance, especially when combined with some flat AD runes, having such an amazing armor reducing ability and all. Getiing 1 or 2 of those early on definitely doesn't hurt, even when you're solo laning.
In your recommended build against AD, I think you should replace the Sunfire Aegis with a Warmog's Armor. You already have a ton of armor in that build but are again a little on the low side in terms of health. I think overall it'll make you a lot more durable. (and let's face it, while the damage from Sunfire Aegis is a nice bonus, it's not good enough to justify it as a good item)

I'll be awaiting your response to decide wether I vote or not. Overall I'm impressed with the guide and it does look like it has a lot of potential. :)
