No one has asked it directly. only the fact that the very act ACT of a mass pull "make the dungeon go 5 minutes quicker." I'm asking how/why this is the case, and why is that figure is the Tank's responsibility to somehow uphold.
Or to ask it in another way: if the size of the pulls alone somehow makes the dungeon faster and the only constant is the tank, then how does a tank make a mass pull faster?

which leads me to...

If your DPS is capable of quickly killing things, it is your responsibility to facilitate the conditions for them to do so, optimising your own ability and the entire party's to have a quicker dungeon.

This would be akin to a healer doing DPS while healing and DPS's utilising their support skills, it's part of the secondary known attributes that make you yourself a better player.
By all means, you can refuse to do that and just restrict your level of game play but that by no means, help anyone.
Indeed, which why the majority of us, including myself, will pull large packs on impulse. However, this also doesn't really answer how the TANK is responsible for how QUICKLY the pull is completed, only that they allow for any speed at all to even occur.

I mean... I could be the WAR in a group of WAR/WHM/BRD/BLM, but if the BRD doesnt sing Foe's, the WHM doesn't Holy, and the BLM doesnt use Fire2, then how was my pull any faster?
I adjust to the pace my group set by pulling smaller since none of them want to AoE. now I'm being verbally assaulted because "I'm slowing everything down." That's really the crux of my confusion.

If my job is to manage to pulls, why is it also my responsibility to now complete them? I thought thats why there were 2 extra slots that needed filled.
