Raid scene is a whole different scenario that OP will most likely never find himself in so I wouldn't worry about that.
As a player with a 60 Monk and 52 Bard and 52 SK, I have pulled every leveling zone to the point where I think I can literally do most of them blind. Sebelis and HoT are the only zones that really amounts to any sort of "skill" because the casters can make u ded pretty quick if you f#ck the goat. Funny thing is out of my 3 chars the monk might be the worst puller of the bunch since the sneak pull nerf. Bard can harmo and SK can snare split while my monk just repeats FD until a mem blur now.
But making the monk the mandatory pull monkey is the P99 meta, and rightfully so to a point. They can avoid damage well and have best FD, 2 things that are key for pullers really.
However once the rooms are broken and the group is XPing to their little hearts content, it is perfectly OK to ask someone to take over pulls for a bit. Just because you are a monk doesn't mean that you can not ask for breaks. The active play style of the monk is both a positive and negative in the group setting.
If the only reason you don't want to pull is because you are afraid of not knowing where to go or doing it right, then I would say play a Monk because you will learn quickly.
If the reason you don't want to pull is because you like paying half attention to the game and half attention to the TV then roll something else
