Which class when played with skill affects your group the most?

This means the monk's dps has a down time every pull, or even worse the camp runs out of mobs and the entire group's dps is having down time.

I think the real skill in pulling is not taking the time to get single pulls, but quickly getting a manageable number of mobs in to camp to ensure dps is constantly/efficiently applied.

A good monk won't just single pull, but keep tabs on every single solitary spawn in order to ensure you have a constant chain of pulls.

Sure, the monk won't press as many keys as a bard or cast fancy spells but a GOOD monk will be 10 steps ahead of the group. Meanwhile, the group is will sit there, apparently, oblivious to the fact why it was a such a good exp night and why they didn't wipe a single time. But a bard/chanter sure looks more active, I'll give you that.
