Assuming Bard doesn't really count (b/c they don't solo with melee), I think it would be Ranger with Panic Animal (assuming outdoor and available mobs) > Monk > SK (fear kiting) >>>> Anything else. XP mobs for 55+ just hit too hard for most melee to effectively tank unless you're a well geared monk. Pally can tank and self heal, but the DPS is too pitiful and you end up taking way more damage than a monk by the time the mob dies. Warrior without fungi, even with bloodpoints and nice gear will be extremely slow as well since you don't have self-haste like monk to pump out decent DPS.
I will say, though, that soloing on a 55+ monk *without* fungi is tedious at best. The DPS and tanking ability + 70% BW is enough to power through it, but you'd be way faster in a half decent dungeon group.
