There is no breathing room for error. Monks can't afford to make many mistakes or flub their rotation and lose greased lightning stacks or their dps will plummet. Other classes don't have the positional requirements, melee range, and complexity of the monks rotations/buffs to keep track of so it's much easier for them to produce numbers.
Just to point out...Dragoons also have to rely on position for optimal damage output. Other than that, I don't have the experience to add anything else.
