If there is a priority target and you have an AoE that does more to the first target, then you focus your AoE around that mob, it dies quickly and you still have the rest of the pack weaker. Pull stake less time, tanks take less damage, and so tanks and healers use less resources. Even if you have a mob that is incredibly beefy, you are better off AoEing the weaker mobs down, then focusing on the big one. That beefy one is only dangerous with everything else around it, once they are all dead, it becomes just like anything else, a non issue.
    Then I guess we have a different view of things, but in the end, I got enough confirmation that I'm a good DPS and tank to believe I'm doing a good job my way, but it doesn't mean I will stop learning. But I'm sorry to say this, but I think your wrong

    I don't think you realise the contradiction in your statement here. On the one hand, you say you want to continue learning, but on the other, you dismiss a learning opportunity because 'I'm doing a good job in my way'. So, which is it?

    It isn't even the case that AoE rotations are weak, they are actually really strong, so it seems even more confusing when people don't want to use them.
