Myesh. Pretty much what was said above. This hero concept of Taran Zhu does not reflect his true nature and personality. Sure, he ironically got corrupted by the Sha at one point but is that how we want to remember him? I don't think so. At least I don't.
Plus we already got Chen and I guess Li Li could also be counted as a monk.
This is just plain wrong i get the idea, but honestly i got to say it's pretty obnoxious. Why? Because this beats everything that what his lore is about. He is the leader of the Shado-pan, he fights Sha. He does not embrace it, thus making this a complete nutjob of a hero. It would be like making Garrosh a hero in the game and have him have abilities to the kind of paladins or priests for that matter.
It. Does. Not. Match.
But i'd love to see Taran Zhu in the game though, but he's a monk nothing more different than Chen. So he's NOT going to be in the game. Because it'd be like "here have Chen, right let's make a new character with seemingly similar abilities slap a full price on him and call it a day." Maybe you could build him as a supportive character as in him having the power to draw the evil within you out. As first seen when you land on Pandaria, and by evil i mean harm of some sort.
