    And this what a good tank would do
    1. Have a look at the party's jobs and HP levels
    2. If nobody speaks up, do a small pull first if you get no caster, or the group ilvl looks questionable; do a medium pull if you got at least one caster
    3. Base on the result of the first pull to decide the pulling pace afterwards: if the member all know what they are doing, pull as many as possible (which more than often won't happen); on the other extreme, if nobody knows how to aoe, or the healer is totally incompetent, pull group by group

    Most, if not all dungeons are designed so that you CANNOT 'overpull', and running the same dungeon over and over makes it completely waste of time if you don't do it as efficient as possible.

    I can think of two dungeons of the top of my head that you can easily 'overpull'. Don't say silly things. Not to mention, any healer that can't heal means it's an over pull. In Brayflox HM, some people can tank the entire first part with a great healer. Other people can't even get to the ramp.

    That is what a good tank does. The problem is after the tank does this, the dps or healer decide that one group at a time doesn't meet the meta (even though that particular group can't handle it) and goes ahead and pulls more for the tank.
