Is it worth it, to splash monk on such build?
I mean, centered, in waterstance, I can get +x wisdom from the stance (and some other goodness). Is there any drawback to splashing some monk on DC caster?
Mostly, the +2 Wisdom from Ocean stance balances the -2 Wisdom from not having capstone. (Unless you have 3 feats to spare to pump your stance up to a +4.) (Well, you might be able to squeeze out an extra +1 Wisdom from enhancements depending how you spend your action points.)
The drawbacks are equipment limitations (pajamas & kamas, etc., versus basically whatever you want it the way of armor, caster sticks, orbs, etc.), and -2 caster levels.
Of course, that's balanced by Evasion, 2 Monk feats, and access to Monk enhancements.
Monk splash is probably a smarter choice; personally I just didn't want to bother trying to re-do my gear for it.
