As a tank, if there are monks in group, I'm more likely to be pulling than them in low-era expansions. Have a charm pet tanking and if things are locked down / there's no real threat to the casters on a break, I'll be out chain-pulling so the monks can continuously DPS. Park something next to what they're fighting already, new thing is locked on me, start whacking the previous mob if it isn't already downed. The biggest challenge is having the timing to not bring something too early or too late, which requires knowing the group's rate of downing mobs (and on the group's end, having that rate be consistent).
Two charm pets is different, as under those circumstances there's more chance of things going south and me needing to be there to distract a mob.
In most cases the group loses a lot less DPS from me running off for the last 50% of a fight than it does if the monk does.
A few classes I like for pulls are ranger, druid, or enchanter if they're good enough to manage that and their pet in camp.
Monks are pretty much dogshit for pulling tools at a group stage, for a while. I think most people quit well before they get all the good shit. Fd splitting is fine and well for difficult raid content, but this is xp content, you just need shit to get to camp and ideally not all right at the same time.
