HS just isn't a great zone for monks, imo. People have said it's all soloers but in my experience, duos and trios are common as well, and full groups aren't THAT rare (depends on the wing, really).
The problem is that HS does not lend itself well to the skills a monk brings to the table. Most pulls with have at least one harm touch involved, often several harm touches, and they aren't easy to split without lulls. So pet pulling is the ideal choice.
If you can't pull, you could always DPS.... but HS is populated mostly by Enchanters, Necros and Clerics. Charmed hasted DW pets are going to be pumping out damage, so your contributions there aren't as significant. You'll automatically have aggro over a pet, but NPC's have a boatload of hitpoints so CHeal is even more efficient than usual on charmed pets - its better for them to have aggro, not you.
Since none of the charmed pets are rogues, you don't need a melee to keep aggro for pets to do their backstabs. You basically don't need melee in HS at all. And the only remaining role is to handle charm breaks, which the usual combination of Enchanter, Necromancer And/Or Cleric will be doing, and you won't be contributing there.
