I think he was meaning stuff before brayflox. Always seem to get that one guy who thinks people below level 30 have huge aoe. I am sure someone has done the math but it seems faster to single target and have healer dps the whole run. You cna't be really over geared since you are level capped. For 50+ with ilvls getting out of control i wouldn't be surprised if some aoe pulls are faster then single target.

I missed the part of low level, which is why I edited. With bard and blm you can still do big pulls sub 30, but it requires having a Scholar for a healer, since the pet can solo heal the dungeons.

People trying to speed run dungeons in order to get out faster. /shrugs
It is not always more efficient. (Especially when someone can't keep up. People wipe, then they rage, and of course it takes longer than doing the dungeon at a normal pace.) I wouldn't mind get some actual times on dungeons run these two ways (by the same people) to see if, at the lower levels, it really makes any difference.

This has me somewhat puzzled, considering DRG doesnt unlock its first AOE until lvl 42 (so its the dps that gets its AOE the latest).

Once they have it though, they have strong burst AOE indeed. MNK AOE while rather low on potency, at least is a bit more sustainable than other physical dps. So fairly usable AOE as well.
