A lot of guilds used monk tanks in Velious once you get SoDs to hold agro. Monks were originally built around having low AC items with an AC bonus when underweight. Velious hosed that up big time by adding crap like 60 AC monk legs. They also have 50 more dodge skill and use block instead of parry (higher "proc" chance if I remember correctly).
Defensive/Evasive obviously a big deal and still makes warriors preferred, but if you can handle the healing without it you remove some complexity of a sudden increase in damage or having to tank switch.
Monks are the most op'd class in Vel, after they get triple attack. Also a fungus tunic with +10 resist all and 100 hp that is monk only. And a right click from inventory 3 slot/3 second cast dispel only clickable by monks and necros.
