Default Is monk vs warrior dps really classic right now?

So I met a TMO monk in the Dreadlands today and since we both had Fungi tunics we put aside our differences and duoed a bit. What I don't understand is how the hell monks do so much more damage than warriors.

Imgunna [47 Iksar Monk with Peacebringer, Sash of the Dragonborn]
--- DMG: 29355 (66.05%) @ 36 dps (35 sdps)
--- DMG to PC: 5741 @7dps

Sakuragi [49 Iksar Warrior with Sarnak Warhammer/Sword of Skyfire + Wurmslayer or Staff of Battle, FBSS]
--- DMG: 15091 (33.95%) @ 18 dps (18 sdps)
--- DMG to PC: 6321 @8dps

This isn't a group where I was tanking either and thus constantly in the front while he whacked it from behind; we were pretty much trading hits to maximize the effect of our fungi tunics - you can see we took about the same total damage, although I took damage faster cause, you know, warriors are better at tanking.

Now I know that I have an Iksar warrior and he's a little weak because of this, and I'm not showing any links for evidence, but I find it really hard to believe monks are supposed to be doing twice the dps of warriors in classic EQ. For example, EQDPM calculator suggests that at 49 with Sarnak Warhammer/Silken Whip of Ensnaring (worse weapons than I was using but it won't let me put wurmslayer in the offhand) I should be doing ~24 dps while my monk friend should be doing ~30 dps . . which would be a significant edge to the monk but overall surprisingly reasonable.
