Sorry I don't do Monk... and I especially don't do T5 as a monk...
But what is your issues with Monk in T5 you think? Are you sure it's not just the PUGs' failings? If you don't have Mage LB2 for the snakes, you're already in trouble. That's not your fault.
When I get in-game I'll try to get in touch with a Monk I used to run end-game with. I respect the player a lot and they've cleared T5 many times. :3 Might be able to post here or pass some tips along.
I guess PUGs are just afraid of getting bad Melee players (which seems to be a DRG stigma). During the phase with Dreadnaughts and twisters, it's all one-shot mechanics. It's especially bad if your melee is stunned (and targeted) by the dread sometimes because well... the melee would be close to Twin which is usually right on top of where the Dreads spawn... One shot mechanics :c It also does not help with twisters because of the close proximity. So that's just my guess. But it's entirely possible to do it with people who are good. 2 PLD + 1 MNK + DRG + 1 SCH + 1 WHM + 1 BRD + 1 BLM = CLEAR just fine.
