'King' means your DPS is way above others but like you said you just 'very often' and for single dps only. if you look total dmg in turn, you will way behind blm. That 's not enough as king. DRG DPS is pair with MNK. So MNK basically is nothing but a melee DPS and can be replaced by other job.
Who said monk was necessary?
You don't need a BLM for Coil, it is preferred to have at least one. The only thing a group should definitely have is coil.
Your complaint is illogical since we can't all be necessary. Why? There are four dps spots and 5 dps classes.

Monks are top dps for 3 of 4 turns (not counting 3, which you can just through). It doesn't matter if AoE bloats the damage numbers for BLM, the monk was still the highest dps more times than he's not. Once you get through the turns, that's all that matters.
That means that monks are in a good place.

We are king single target (which is most of the endgame!), but we're not blowing the other classes out of the water.
That only means SE's balance isn't complete trash. And we won't have to face nerfs next patch.
So really, what's your point?
