The problem with a Monk is you usually have them pull , and Tank at times. They come back low on HP from the pull and if you heal them the mob agros the hell out of the healer. And you never know when the Monk has Mend up, or when he will use it or not. So you just waste a CH on them or burn up mana too fast for lesser heals. You can time a CH for a Ugly Ogre Warrior pretty well when you get used to it.

Don't get me wrong if all you got is a Rogue for a Tank that is what you have lol. Its either that or go solo on your Druid. But I knew I was in for a hell of of hard night healing them. But it is not too often you get the Holy Trinity in a group. Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter, and add a good monk as a puller.

Pretty broad statement there sir. On live I was routinely off-tanking drakes in N ToV as a rogue and using my own 2 boxed cleric to heal. You may not want to be main tanking on dragons and gods, but you can do it for short bursts as a raid saver with evasive disciplines.
