Agreed. Remembering what order you pulled mobs isn't a monk exclusive skill. And in xp groups I'd rather the puller ran off once every 5 minutes instead of every 60 seconds in order to apply more of his awesome dps.
Obviously, some times it is better to forgo a chunk of dps and have the mobs come in 1x1, but in most grind situations this is not necessary.

If it's just chain pulling and you have good CC, sure any class can do it. If you don't have an enc/bard, and if you don't have a cleric for rezzes, not fucking up the pull is pretty important. I feel like rez availability spoils p99 players compared to live, since so many people have a rez bot parked close by, and dying doesn't really matter as much. If you need to limit the numbers on pulls, monk is the best when you do a sort of average between indoor, outdoor, and resistant/non CCable mobs, but obviously some classes are slightly better for pulling in some specific situations.
If you're talking about a run of the mill xp group (4-6 players,) I don't really think player skill is going to be involved very much after a certain point, since these types of groups set up in places that are ideal anyway on p99. If you start pushing the limits of what your group can do and try more challenging places to level (these are usually dungeons,) I think player skill factors into the situation more. I think the 3 classes most relevant to this discussion for this kind of situation are Monk, Bard, Enchanter.
