I'm not entirely sure, but i think the JM/KD combo always beats Wu's Quivering, especially after you start getting damage bonuses. But, it's just not a big difference at lower levels (below 30).
It's more a matter of value for money. At low levels you aren't going to get all the benefit of JM/KD and other weps are better for the money. Right now, you can likely get JM between 3k-4k and KD for 2k-3k, so you can probably get both for about 5k. Where as a Wu's Quivering can run you less than 800p sometimes.
Anyways, I'm not sure at what level the JM/KD combo becomes significantly better, but I got them at level 35 and switched from my Wu's then. I noticed a good increase in my overall dps. Also, I tend to solo a lot due to offpeak times, so the lower weight is nice.
As far as tanking, monks can do ok except for the aggro thing. If you are duoing with a shaman (which is a great idea), you will do fine holding aggro by yourself. But in a group you might need to have a caster root the mob and just get close. My chanter grouped with a monk who tanked in Seb at the king camp and he did great. I also duoed with a monk while leveling in CoM and I'd just popped rune on him and slowed things. He had JM/Adamantite Club combo and i could tash and slow at 85% and not pull aggro most of the time, which i sometimes cringe at doing even with a warrior tanking.
