A good Necromancer should keep Harmshield up to help survive feign fails, and a really good one might also carry various heal or invulnerability click items. Due to Death Peace, level 60 Shadow Knights make excellent pullers nowadays, and Blood Ember legs can help wealthy Shadow Knights from 45-onward. That being said, snare-splitting works easily and reliably but it isn't particularly quick. Monks generally get the job done more quickly than I can on my Shadow Knight, even if Monks require more finesse now than they used to.
Most groups and guilds won't want a Monk who doesn't perform his primary job (pulling). Of course, you don't need most guilds to accept the non-pulling Monk; you only need one. Pick-up groups might be spotty even if you join as a non-pulling second Monk. If the first one leaves, guess who they'll look at for pulling? As with Warriors who don't want to be tanks or Clerics who don't want to be main healers and other cases of a player wanting to focus on a class's secondary jobs, it's best to do this type of thing if you have friends to group with in advance.
