For trash mobs the reason the tank is running ahead is so you can do something when they hit the wall. Other than ranged physical DPS most people won’t be able to hit the mobs either during the run but when the tank stops you can the. Use your aoe skills to burn down 10 enemies at once instead of 2-3. It’s usually nice if the tank gives a heads up or asks at the start, but tanks are doing it so you have better DPS generally. Half the time the reason the tank is doing it is because they were yelled at not to pull one pack at a time by either DPS or healers beforehand.

It’s partially a rush thing as you say but it’s also partially just that one pack at a time doesn’t require or even really allow people to use their full skill set on their character.

If you’re having trouble keeping up though make sure to let people know you’re new and ask if they can go a little slower. Often we won’t know someone is having an issue unless they say something and we’ll just expect to be flamed if we don’t go fast for trash pulls.
