The monk is an interesting combo of utility, tankyness, and dps. With abilities like Cyclone Strike, Inner Sanctuary, and their heals they can provide some great team utility.
In addition to being able to rune abilities like Crippling Strike for either defensive or offensive purposes. All of their mantras are useful and can be runed to be even more effective. I'd say with proper passives and runes monks should have no problem going toe to toe with classes like the barbarian, and perhaps not dealing enormous damage but enough to wear them down.
I can see monks filling any number of roles on a team and being very effective, but I imagine they will have to build very specific ways to accomplish this.
