It should be retuned in some form, even if it's just an additional stun. Abilities should not just show up and disappear because of patches, they should be learned on the journey or transformed through experience. Like so many games before they are treating classes/jobs are a series of mechanics and designing the game around tight balance. It's the e-sport mentality that should be foreign to the genre.
But unfortunately the monk actually has dead skills, none situational, anatman, six sided star and tornado kick have all been routed out due to changes in this expansion. Tornado kick due to how the riddles and shoulder tackle changed and anatman and six sided star due to the buff to form shift and the presence of perfect balance
