i see it as a bit of a mix with considerations for the content and gear, there is literally no reason to large pull in satasha with a group that has one or no aoe, because it puts more onus on the healer to heal rather than allowing them to dps as well and kill things faster (problems arise when in copperbell the blam is insistent on pulling ahead of you and the healer refuses to heal you which keeps killing you on those large pulls and both of them are saying its your fault :tableflip: ), but if you have a well geared healer that knows their job (and isnt an afk fairy healer) generally you can get away with wall pulls

on the flip side of that, wall pulling in fucking bardams, av, and dd is stupid and everyone always wipes because theyre in a damn hurry >.<
