First, let me address the who idea of there being too many monks. There are a ton of fucking monks, no doubt about it. However, a competent monk who actually knows what they're doing is worth their weight in gold and if you get a reputation for knowing your class finding a group or guild will be absolutely no problem. If you want to be DPS, make a rogue. If you want to be a puller, which in a raid setting is essentially the same role as a quasi-raid leader, then roll a monk. To a monk, the role of DPS is secondary.
As far as human or iksar - I rolled a human before iksars were playable so I didn't really have a choice. However, if I were in your shoes I'd probably make a human again. If you're a min/max type of player, you should roll an iksar because based purely on statistics and abilities, they are superior. I personally feel at the end game the difference is minuscule, but I'm sure there is someone out there that would disagree with me. I played a human monk for years on live and have played one for well over a year here and have never had a problem overcoming my human inferiority.
I know it is a generic statement, but play what you want to play and what you think will be fun. Just know that as a monk if you're idea of a good time is sitting in camp and DPSing, you might have a hard time when you reach the level of gaming where your peers have certain expectations based on your class that exceed the role of simple DPSing.
