Monks are generally better, but not everyone wants to be a Monk. Monks aren't so much better as to render the alternatives useless. For example, I'm hard-pressed to think of many things a Monk/Shaman can duo that a Shadow Knight/Shaman cannot. Also, while Monks reach the apex of their power during Velious, proportionally the knights probably gain more during Velious than Monks do--as such, the gap between them actually narrows a bit. Velious was a melee-centric expansion in general. Monks ultimately remain stronger, I won't dispute that, but again: Not everyone wants to be a Monk.
