Um... My understanding is that attacks from behind remove the mobs chance at dodge/parry/riposte. It also negates the avoidance AC (agil + defense modifiers) so you hit more more dmg more often.

That's for ALL melee...

It is my understanding when all melee are on a single side of the mob the mob will get pushed out of melee range of several who aren't moving with the mob.

It is my contention that the loss of these Autoattack swings, backstab and flying kicks which miss due to be out of range, total more damage than the damage gained by monks hitting for a bit more in the back arc.
