DPS pulling.
The tank and healer are the only ones who actually have to manage big pulls, so it's 100% their call. Dismissive as this may sound, DPS don't get a vote.

DPS pulling.
The tank and healer are the only ones who actually have to manage big pulls, so it's 100% their call. Dismissive as this may sound, DPS don't get a vote.
People who give others a hard time for not using abilities they don't actually have at that level. No, I can't use Verraise when you get yourself killed fighting Nidhogg, try stacking up like you're supposed to.
Also, people who get mad about not getting raised when they fell off the edge on Titan, Ravana, Bismark, or Sephirot. Your corpse is down there. Nothing I can do about it. (Also, see above.)
This is going to be strange but its being in a full team of Lalas. I don't hate them but just being in a full group of them gives me super puppet master vibes.

Yeah, no. That's not a good tactic at all, You risk pulling mobs unexpectedly to the tank or even worse, having said mob attack the healer. How about creating a macro before you dungeon dive? I've played DPS since, well since FF11...what you're not gonna do is pull more mobs to an unsuspecting tank, that's bad tactic all around.
I am doing that as a healer, and a decently experienced at that, a mob or two hitting me while moving them to the tank isn't a big deal. I also find it's a pretty good way to build confidence in tanks by pushing them to go beyond their comfort zone and to better prepare them for endgame norms.
I'm cool with it, if you can survive, ala a Paladin-healer pulling mobs to a tank in MMO's like WoW. But communicate first. There are plenty of dungeons (low level) that will prepare a tank for multiple mobs/incoming, I don't need or want my squishies pulling another 3-5 mobs when I'm already dealing with a big group. I see what you're saying, but I can't agree, breeds bad tactic. Also in raids this kind of behavior gets you kicked.
