Monks make EXTREMELY poor tanks unless your group is a bit over leveled for the camp, you have a shaman slowing (honestly anyone can tank then), you are twinked out the wazzoo, or you are max level.
If OP makes a monk thinking he can tank naked he is going to be in for a rude awakening. Level

Sorry - that's just not true. Comparably geared a monk will take less damage than pretty much all other classes except for warrior. This holds true for most all gear levels ... from cured silk all the way up to raid gear. 50+ they won't have the massive hp pool of a plate tank, but they make up for it in taking less damage over time.
The challenging part is aggro management - but relatively cheap high quality ratio weapons make threat via melee dps viable at the low end. As you get to the 50+ aspect of the game, weapons like AC and Tstaff give monks a viable means of generating extra aggro without sacrificing dps.
