I too glossed over the monk part. The main reason to reroll a tank is to be able to play with your friend from an equal place. Definitely a difference experience than powerleveling. Likewise you get to grind up a tank rather than having to solo or PL that.
Rather than thinking about what is best id think about what you want to have in the end. A warrior would make for the most difficult pulling but you can pick your targets and do just fine. Outdoor zones like The Overthere can take you to 50 with easy solo pulls. Goos and Geos are fine after if not wanting to go to like The Hole. Plus it’s always easy enough to add another dps to speed things up or keep it interesting.
A SK/Sham isn’t as quick as the monk/sham but having a legitimate method of snaring (besides sham innoruuk neck) can be very nice. Likewise spell aggro is the main reason knights are fun and extremely useful. Nobody rolls one for dps.
You might even consider a ranger. Outdoor pulling with harmony would be easy. Indoors you still have snare and root plus aggro spells. Tracking, fear animal, two sow classes etc. On a similar gear level they are much more squishy than the other melees (besides bards) but duo content slowed is pretty damn easy.
