Currently we have monks tanking everything from the lowest named up to the spore king and juggernauts and doing it rather well. They can pull quickly and constantly with the instant and broken state of feign death. They hold aggro like champs with the multitude of stun weapons that they receive and they tank nearly just as well or some say better than a proper plate tank. So currently there is no draw back to having a monk tank... its not like taunt functions on anything worthwhile anyway eh?
I know that they were the Kunark dev's wet dream but on live at least they were always out in the zone bringing in mobs while a proper tank helped with the killing as pulling was a more involved process there. The bottom line is that yes monks should be able to tank but should they be mana efficient tanks who are actively sought after over pal/war/sk? I don't think so.
I do not recall if things were this biased towards them on Kunark's launch, they probably were but not everything is worth replicating.
Fire away!
