Monk has better AOE than DRG unless DRG doesn't run out of TP.
TA provides a little less than 2% additional damage over the course of a fight, assuming it's used on CD every minute. A DRG makes a BRD/MCH do 10% more damage for the entire fight. That's a big buff to someone's damage.

Yes, Goad is decent, but all of the other melee classes already have ways to restore their TP. Monks have TWO means of this. Both DRG and MNK also don't TP starve as fast a NINs do. Hell, let NIN cast Goad on themselves and you'd help alleviate/fix some of their issues right there.
