    You said it was Dusk Vigil, so you're wrong. Cute response though.

    What's cute is you thinking all dps have equally good aoe in every situation.

    Big pulls wouldn't have made it faster. We cleared the dungeon in a reasonable amount of time despite the WHM dropping.

    And just to keep it on topic, a tank shouldn't pull more than they're comfortable pulling. That's what it comes down to, though knowing where big pulls are a smart choice is a factor as well.

    All AoE is not made equal, for sure. But, the perception that melee classes have terrible AoE is mostly unwarranted. They are weak in that they can run out of TP quickly (which the pull should be dead before mostly anyway), and some of them have awkward aiming conditions (looking at DRG).

    But, all classes are capable of putting out good AoE DPS. Melee classes have a more difficult time of it (so your average terrible DF DPS will suck at it) but they can definitely compete.

    Interesting; tell me what else I think.

    You're still wrong, by the way.
