Play what/how you want in this game, but no amount of gear/skill/technique is going to change the core game mechanics.

Gear changes the expected core game limitations of classes. It lets you do crazy stuff like try to make a caster tank. Though the higher up you go, the less you are able to break stuff like that.

Monks can also level to 60 naked while doing all of these things.

Soloing 22 is not exactly the ultimate goal of this game.

Was just a random example of a farm camp :P

I never saw monks down camping frenzied ghoul in guk for FBSS either.

The point is just monks are nice....but they aren't crazy uber best DPS in the world and best tankers 10/10 would monk again. They have a nice mix of abilities, but they aren't banana kings of EQ.

No they're just the best non-disc tanks in the game while bringing 50-65dps, self-heal, and FD. Monks are disgustingly OP and not even in the same league as SK/PAL or RNG in terms of tanking ability or mechanical potential.

And yes, time-to-kill absolutely matters in high end raiding. You aren't killing AoW or Tunare if your clerics run OOM before the DPS can finish it. 17 seconds could be the difference between a wipe and success.
