Why Speed Pulls?

[Kaiser-Ace]

Regardless your AOE output is still a fraction of what brd or blm is dishing out, single target the highest threat mob to your tank after your CDs are burned to free up your whm to AOE. Throw some stuns, it'll take 4 or 5 RoTs to equal one Holy. In the amount of time you pull of 5 RoTs whm would be at 3 holy spells, I'm just don't see it.

THAT right there is my my problem with your thinking. Heavy thrust is a single target attack. Locate highest priority target (Ochu, Malbor, Dragon ect, ect) and flank hit it with heavy thrust (All GOOD dragoons don't let their buffs stay off any longer than it takes them to charge up so that's invalid as most GOOD tanks use cool downs to not die but I've seen tanks die like Naked healers before cause they didn't) then use RoT to keep the heat on AND add a little damage to the others. Less damage that Black Mage and Bard? Well Duh, overpower and CoS don't do shit for DPS either compared to Flair/Fire 3 and Bard's AoE arsenal. But it always helps. The way I see it, if you're relying on a Dragoon's AoEs then you were screwed the minute you hit "Confirm" on the DF menu. Dragoons are high output Single target DPS with a few AoEs just to help out just like Black Mage is a high output Multi-target DPS with a few single targets so they help out better.

It seems to me that you've "Played" Dragoon but never actually took time to "learn" Dragoon. I can sit back and yell "Stupid tank! Hold your damn agro right!!" but if I haven't played as a tank then I have no idea that your War isn't using over power cause WARs burned up their TP really fast or that your PLD needs a few seconds to get his MP back after he flash spames to empty and cant use Riot Blade for having to use RoH combos to desperately hold hate off the mages.
