I just can't see fear kiting being as useful as you are imagining. the scenario I outline seems much more viable.
I have chased mobs on my rogues. It sucks. The rogue likely won't outdamage a monk in most situations here. Both classes will have issues with missed attacks due to hit box, but the monk will always do full damage where the rogue can waste a backstab due to the mob turning, fear wearing off, etc. Monk doesn't require positioning for kicks and claws and strikes.

As to your second point, I agree. Chasing mobs gets old. It's fine for pets or the occasional runner, but all day, every day...no thanks. Monk can do much better in this duo.
