The reason tanks set the pace is because it is frowned upon for a DPS to pull extra mobs when the tank has stopped. Yes, the damage dealers and healer most certainly effect the speed, but the pace and the speed are two different things. The pace is dictated solely by how the tank pulls, and the speed is what the rest of the party influences. For the example I provided above, its almost guaranteed that the completion speed would benefit from a faster pace, set by the tank by the pull size, because the group has several high potency AoE jobs. The thread is about dealing with sluggish tanks, and how to deal with their sluggish paces when the group is very capable of handling a quick pace.
