Mostly naked monk can tank up through KC with a shaman. Substitute cleric for healer and will probably have down time because most clerics will continue to waste mana on divine light rather than ch the monk. It's like their brains are broken and have reserved CH for war/pal/sk. Also absence of slow can make healing more challenging, but still not impossible. Add a necro to the retard cleric and the lack of slow becomes no problem again. OR boot the stupid cleric and roll with two necro. Not all clerics are awful of course ^^

Paladin is incredibly fabuloso when you are in a bad group, particularly one without a monk. It is amazing how much a good paladin can augment a bad group. If you are in a good group, you've no need of a paladin. Same goes for shadow Knights.

Warriors are useful for when your monk is your only melee, so that the monk can continue pulling while the warrior finishes tanking. If you have two monks, warrior not so useful, though they will make ch more efficient and if you are grouped with a retarded cleric, they may actually use it.

Generally speaking though, if you are in a group with a couple of super rogues who can't (and really shouldn't) restrain themselves and monk doesn't have sufficient aggro proc (AC, SWH, TStaff), then get a ranger. They will mitigate more poorly, but will offer better damage than a pal/sk and best snap aggro outside a bard who would work equally well if you don't have another haste/slower already.
