I actually agree that Rescue should not be used as the default. The NIN might be planning to Shukuchi, the BLM might be planning to Aetherial Manipulation, etc. (Or heck, the person might actually be expecting a Rescue. I have, on very rare occasions, had someone ask me to rescue them into the right spot to save time during a mechanic; if you explicitly ask, sure, I'll do it starting with the first pull. Susano has an excellent Rescue-cheese spot, for instance.)

But if someone dies to a mechanic repeatedly, forcing me to repeatedly burn MP -- and potentially time in order to slow-rez them -- across multiple pulls... I admit after a certain point, I will probably cease to care what their plan is. Because whatever it is, clearly it isn't working.
