On AoE fights aswell you will also usually be taking a rather hefty chunk more incoming damage as a Monk which also means if you want their high AoE DPS you need to be prepared to heal them alot more, which in the case of high DPS checks WITH alot of healing required it is usually better just to go with a stronger tank
In 25M Heroic, the tank is most often the #1 DPS'er or should be if you have a clue of what you are doing, and before you start quoting "oh lol your DPS'ers must suck" I advise you to check out our logs and will be greeted with easily some of the very top DPS'ers in the world
Yes they are brought for other reasons primarily but that isn't to say Tank DPS isn't important, quite the opposite. I would go as far as to say Tank DPS is one of a "Good Tank"'s mandatory skill set
