Devil’s advocate, if the monk is meant to be tanking, why would the SK be spamming aggro?

In context of original question, I think a monk will want to keep adding AC until they can mitigate decently or reach a point of diminished returns, and then focus on HP. It’s hard to provide specifics as the answer changes on circumstances.

I think Croco isn't suggesting a monk going head to head with an SK who is spamming aggro spells, rather more that monk doesn't fully substitute for an SK in an average tanking scenario because they have fewer tools for grabbing aggro on adds or when a wizard nukes too early, etc.
