That is partially true and only applies to warriors.

Paladin / SK agro doesn't depend on melee damage anyway. If a Knight class wants agro, they will have agro unless you start blowing malet charges on a mob (or actively try to contest agro as an enchanter/shaman anyway).

Spell agro will guarantee a mob will stay on the knight class for the biggest part. Melee dmg / weapon-spell procs just make it a little bit easier.

And last but not least, agro management in a group isn't entirely a tanks responsibility.

Simply put nowadays, people cba and just root-tank anyway. That's why you see monks filling up tank spots in groups. Just the fact that they can fill in those shoes, it doesn't mean it's the best group-role for them.

I will agree with you on some points. But a Pally can not be a Ogre. So they get stunned. So guess what no spell cast while stunned or weapon proc. Then there is resists. In Velious a lot of mobs can not be rooted.

When Velious comes out no Ranger or Monk is going to Tank Velious mobs. We will all be hoping for a Ogre tank to stroll by then lol.
