Iv yet to play d3 yet but from what im reading it seems the monk is the only class that can heal others so would that make the monk more desiredfor groups especially on the harder difficulties.

It goes through spirit like nobody's business, and most groups are based around efficient farming, so having a dedicated healer would be pretty crappy. It's basically just an oh-shit button for the Monk.
Paladins were also able to heal others in D2 using Holy Bolt, and I never, ever saw anyone do that. I don't know, if D3 is anything like D2, healing will be incredibly less efficient than just killing.

Healing's just there to make the Monk more unique and make them function a bit differently, that's about it. No need for a dedicated healer in a Diablo game, you just kill stuff. It's a nice little bonus, but nothing more.
