Depends on relative gear too. Its been my observation that its much easier for Paladins and SKs to get high end weapons than warriors, monks or rogues. If there's a noticeable gear disparity as a result, Pallys can be up there.

In Aegis, for example, we have a pally with Tunare sword and at least two with Great Spear of Dawn. Most of our other classes are not nearly that well geared. Tunare sword pally was 7th DPS at the last big dragon kill (LTK) behind 4 rogues and 2 monks, and ahead of 2 rogues, 4 warriors, 5 rangers, 4 monks and a collection of other paladins/sks.

I've lost to that Pally in DPS on short duration fights before where I'm really unlucky on backstab hits and he's really lucky on his hits, though I comfortably outpace him on longer duration fights with lower DPS variance (I was 2nd on that parse).
Well when a monk weapon swaps his fists have a 9/16 so he can squeeze out some offhand 9/16 attacks vs anyone else who is just gonna lands punch or two for 3 dmg. But yes a TOV/tunare geared Paladin vs a normal grouping melee is gonna be skewed and not a fair comparison I’m talking classes with similar gear. With similar gear I think a monk is second on DPS to rogue on melee dps due to great ratio weapons, triple attack, eagle strikes, dropping weapon to extra 9/16 offhand rounds, and being able to engage instantly and flopping aggro mid fight at will. Monks are just OP in velious.
