Perhaps when you did big pulls your dps kept doing single target rotations, because what you're saying is mathematically impossible, at this point this isn't about anecdotes, skills have a declared potency and you multiply AoE skills potency by the number of mobs it's hitting, so mathematically you're doing more damage in a big pull than in a single pull, but you don't take twice as long to kill them.
