If rogue is what you want to play then play rogue. The pick up group scene in p99 is pretty decent; on the 'xp highway' it is perfetly fine to drop in and out of groups, and the rogue is actually pretty good at navigating it's way through dungeons to join up with groups thanks to it's stealth abilities.
When you do need to solo, just play a different class; there isn't really a limit on how many characters you can play in p99.
Monks are highly stackable, I don't really agree with the posters who say a group might not want two; You could easily work with 4 monks in a group.
That said, it can often be hard fitting two characters into an existing group, no matter how good the combination. The best I've found is to start with your duo and add from there.
This is one of the things that makes monk/shaman (or even monk/nec I suppose) so attractive.
