Why Speed Pulls?

We are all in the same boat. I am farming for these zodiacs too, I'm just as frustrated as you to not see them drop (probably not, tbh) and yet I don't feel an urge to pull everything at once unless I really need to. However you do realize that most pug healers out there don't even DPS at all?

That's because most pug healers are bad / lazy. That's also why I go into the dungeons as a healer. I expect fast runs so I do my part to achieve them. If the party is going slow and have no desire to speed run after I inquire, I leave.

Nope, PuG healer do not bother because the healer cannot depend on the group to perform well enough that there is time to DPS. Too many bad tanks not using buffs, or DPS not dodging attacks.

Actually, because of that I choose to do by Zodiac as a BLM instead. Longer queue times probably but it isn't that bad (5-10 mins average?).

You can enter as a WHM but if you get 2 melees you are still a goner. But as long as I am a BLM, I can ensure that the run ends faster than any other options. If the tank is going to pull pack by pack then as a WHM you can't possibly have the MP to holy spam them all, but as a BLM I can Flare them all. Pug tanks are more likely to pull more packs with a BLM than without.
