Idea for Healer Path...

This might be considered as a suggestion but i had an idea for the path of the healer. Path of the healer gets no ability to wear any kind of armor and thus tends to have very poor ac, the only real way to get around that is by taking monk levels but not everyone wants to take monk levels and the alignment restriction means anyone who is not lawful cant go that route unless they cease being non-lawful. So the idea is: allow healer path clerics to be able to choose the epic warding spell that mages can get but make it so the spell will not function if any monk levels are present either when the feat is taken or if said levels are added later... this would allow those who don't want to go monk to have decent ac and put a stop to anyone trying to combine monk ac with the spell to get utterly insane game-breaking ac.
Thoughts?

Not gonna tear down your idea but I think if you look close monk dip isn't all it seems. Monk AC is halved on a healer so you're only talking a +7 or +8 AC bonus from wisdom on most casters (assuming you get to 38-42 wis). That sounds like a lot but healers are able to wear light armor and use small shields (they don't have the proficiency innately but their dip will usually will) and I am pretty sure you are able to get close to or possibly better AC on a non-monk than a monk dip with the right gear, especially considering monks can't use a shield to double up on magic vestment.

Epic Warding or Epic Magic Armor?
Warding would be broken. EMA would easily give you the better advantage as it's 1 off from the monk AC but makes your deflection and natural AC undispellable.

It's also possible to build a healer with charisma and grab divine shield to get good AC (at the cost of spell DCs)
