You pull you tank question.

Anyway the whole thing can be turned around on you.
It conflicts with your main character syndrome. Being a DPS is completely braindead for the most part, press W until you're in ot near the mob, and do your AoE (nuking isn't really a thing in FFXIV), yet some DPS get testy when the tank doesn't let them tag a mob before they do, like some sort of affront to them personally.
In other words, pure projection while throwing a tantrum about not having things go your way.
You try to pressure them adhering to you by threatening them with reporting them. Yet at the same time people could argue that you are aiding the enemy or general nuisance behaviour.

If the accusation can be used against you like that, it was probably a shit take to begin with.

Except only one of us is actively taking steps to kill a party member for wounding their ego.

I also like how you assume I pull ahead of the tanks when I usually don't, I just think tanks who pull YPYT are pathetic.

I'll be honest I find YPYT a bit too extreme. But I do give them a little scare here and there.
My whole point is about DPS who pull ahead because they can't or won't wait 1 milisecond. Especially if they are doing this deliberately.

It's basically a difference in mentality.
A lot of people find dungeon content to be boring so they want to get it done with asap. Pulling ahead does help speed it up so it can be viewed as them being helpful.
Tanks can communicate if they don't want that but YPYT as you said, is way too extreme and def not the answer.

Nuke 'em while the tank runs ahead, try to thin them out.

... did it really never occur to any of you that the mobs die faster the less HP is left?

You can DPS as the tank is running yes but the time to kill the 2nd group will still be the same if we kill them all together or not.
So no, it doesn't really speed it much if at all. Unless a mob on the first group has way more HP than the other ones anyways.

Half of the pull will die faster, making incoming damage much lighter, saving the tank/healer resources and letting the healer pump more.

Very true. I was only talking about speed however.

Sorry about the second post. Mobile is dumb and doesn't let me edit.
Healers in most cases can't pump more since most of their heals they use are ogcds.

Mobiles do be like that sometimes.
As fior healers, not much experience in that field. Got WHM lvl 38 but that's it.
