PvE Monking is only boring when playing with henchmen and heroes. With humans it's far more interesting. Not as fun as PvP monking mind you, but still fairly fun.
It's too difficult to say which class is the most underplayed. Mesmer, Ritualist and Paragon are probably definitely up there, but given people never PuG anymore, it's hard to gain a real insight into what professions people actually are playing, rather than the professions people are using the stand around in Kamadan with.

it really depends what and how your team is playing.
if you are farming/cry/RoJ, you wont see derv, para, war,
if you are playing balance you wont see as much mes, dervs,
RT's make great volly, barragers due to 16 channeling, good spirit spammers, and ok MM's depending how you do it.
paras with imba, stunning, cruel spear are around lots in balance.
this is what i have seen with in my guild and alliance.

Depends a bit on how you measure.
For fair measurement I'd say exclude farming (team)builds. And look at PvE (since this is Campfire). Only a very limited part of the community would be involved in Farming I'd say.
I think this would make Ritualists, Mesmers and Monks the least played professions.
Assassin would see some usage but mainly the 'I want to be ninja' players.
And I'm assuming that most players will play either solo or in small 'random' groups.
Doesn't have to be PUG, but can also be random players from a guild/alliance.
The reason? Playing monk with H&H is both boring and annoying.
And playing with randoms means you get the blame for a lot of things you can't help.
Mesmers are fun to play but not very effective against large groups (without CoP/VoR).
Many players want to see big damage numbers on the screen, not disabling some foe that's dead in 5 seconds anyway.
The main disadvantage of the Ritualist in my opinion is the static positioning of the spirits. Rt is fun, but not when you want to move accros a field fast. I know there is a PvE skill for that but not all players will have that. They have several very decent spells but those depend on the way of play and the team.
Assassins are squishy and can't in general be used to hold aggro (there are exceptions).
They are the class to move in, kill a target and move out.
Not really something you'd like to do in PvE because of imbalanced groups.
Considering the above I'd say the least profession in PvE is the Ritualist.
Second would be monk or ritualist, fourth would be assassin.
Once we take farming builds into concideration things will change a lot.
Monks will be there, solo, duo or in full teams.
Assassins are used a lot. Mesmers somewhat with CoP.
Only role left out will be Rt.
I think the 'winner' would be Ritualist in both cases
