Well, for one thing, he didn't say a uber twinked melee out exps the necro, he said it's not as exciting, since the caster does the same damage no matter how much you twink it, whereas the melee can be doing OMFG RAPE damage relative to it's level.
Past that, as someone who has recently leveled a necro into the 50s and very recently leveled a monk to 50, I firmly believe that my monk was leveling much MUCH quicker than the necro. However, I do think the monk had the 25% exp bonus going and the necro didn't, but the monk was leveling much quicker, so it probably balances out about the same.
Uber twinking just doesn't do as much for casters as it does for melee. Obviously it's a huge help, but just doesn't have the same effect, though there are exceptions. For example, if you have a Rod of Annihilation on your necro, you can melee for 120 at level 20. Using that and a Tola robe will give you an insane DPS boost.

The dmg is relative to the necros hp, mana pool and mana/hp regen. Swap out that fungi for a mana stone. Get lots of hp/mana/int gear. Get all the spells (costs a lot as you lvl up and increases dmg A LOT just like twinking a melee does). Once the Lich surpasses the Mana Stone you can sell it or throw it to an alt.
As far as a Monk lvln as fast as necro I doubt that and as you said it had the xp bonus going. Which makes a big difference.
As far as fun it all depends on what you like. A necro can do OMFG dmg too when played right. LOL.
