Keebz summed it up well.
Hybrids certainly have a wide window of performance based on gear but pure melees have a proper performance ramp. If your stat table > the mob’s stat table = no problem. If you need to push that envelope often a hybrid can cheat their way to victory. It will just dredge on longer than you might like. They may struggle against targets that are better to kill quicker than slower (mana drain casters that summon).
Outside the upper echelon of gearing and performance, if a monk can kill with less than 70% health with bind and bind wound you can kill much quicker. Higher dps, better mitigation and avoidance, faster recovery.
