On an exp grp any class can really pull. Just bring mobs in, cc the adds, kill em, keep pulling more. Long as the puller is decent at keeping pace and pulling without leaving stupid amounts of downtime, FD isn't even required.
I know a lot of monks are proud to bring single pulls, but it really frustrates me when we have a decent CC team, heals and crazy dps in groups and the 'skillful' monk insists on spending ages bring in single pulls. This means the monk's dps has a down time every pull, or even worse the camp runs out of mobs and the entire group's dps is having down time.

I think the real skill in pulling is not taking the time to get single pulls, but quickly getting a manageable number of mobs in to camp to ensure dps is constantly/efficiently applied.
