Absolutely, positively NO. If I wanted to be a (#*$)#($ scout I would have rolled one. In fact, I HAVE one, and I never play her (except to craft).
Monks are fighters, pure and simple. I do just fine tanking with my monk. I do just fine healing a monk tank when I'm in a group with one on my healer. My opinion is that we make perfectly good tanks; however, there is a general perception that we're lousy tanks for whatever reason...and unfortunately, people often believe and are swayed by the opinions of others.
NO, NO, NO. If the monk class was changed to a scout, I would have kittens sideways. And I seriously would look for a different game to play. That WOULD be game-breaking for me, anyway. Screw DPS - I don't care how much damage output I have per second...I made a FIGHTER so I could TANK (which I do, successfully, ALL THE TIME), and I don't want to see that changed.
