I think a lot of us are fine with small pulls.
Many of us are not fine with long, needless pauses in between; because, as said above, maintenance buffs.
There are a lot of pug tanks who I wish would just go back to dps because they either don’t understand, or don’t care to understand, basic tanking things like pacing, positioning, etc.
Tanks that don’t mount between certain packs or dungeon portions is like…the ultimate affront to my patience. I just can’t even.
Followed closely by people who don’t repair before entering the dungeon. It’s been almost 20 years that the game has been out, there is no excuse for this behavior…
That’s go both ways dude… It’s a pug!
Alot of dps don’t interrupt, don’t do acceptable damage for the content.
Alot of high IO healers just don’t know how to heal.
And yes, a lot of tanks don’t know or care about high efficiency runs.
It’s the pug world, most peop just want the loot at the end (or the io point for ego).
Few are there to learn and do their best, unfortunately. Done with forum for now, need to farm 
If it gets bad, just fall back on the “You pull it, you tank it.”
I have no problem when I tank on my druid going in for a pull, only to have the Hunter or Demon Hunter (the 2 biggest offenders) pull before me. At that point, I just run by and pull the next mob or 2.
The DPS getting beaten up enough and/or killed is usually enough for them to slow down and fall back in line.
you are currently the only tank with this problem.
Literally hundreds of posts at this point about tanks that are already halfway to the second boss before the healer even loaded in…
In the time you typed this you could have killed two mobs of trash!
Hurry up!!! REEEEEEE!!!
Also because at the start of the S1 tanks were gods and bragging all about it.
So stop chickening out god! Pull faster!!! D:<
Have fun in your farming!
