An added point about your current weapon set up. I think it is ok for what you have access to. This is based on the conventional wisdom for aggro and damage calculations.
Basically, weapon damage itself doesn't matter as much as ratio for damage output. Also, weapon speed is an important factor for increasing damage (and also for generating aggro, or it should, at least):
*Trance stick is 7/18= 0.38889 . Of course, this isn't that great consider what monks can get and I'd suggest upgrading to a Jade Mace when you can. But the proc should generate ok aggro, but nowehere close to an Adamantite Club, which is another wep you could eventually put on your list. Either way, the delay of 18 on the trance stick surely means that with your current set up it should go in the main hand for damage bonus, like you are doing.
*Cane of Harmony = 12/25 = 0.48. Better ratio and slower delay, should be in off-hand, like you are doing.
*Fists at levels 35-39 for iksar= 11/34= 0.323 . As such, I wouldn't suggest using them over any of your weapons at the moment.
A final note, I really think root-tanking is the best option for any monk who is tanking. Monks weren't really designed to be proper main tanks. They can soak the damage, but you are really going to gimp the group's potential damage output if you want to hold aggro like a warrior (basically because monks can't unless the dps in the group is piss-poor).
