So this is the third time this has happened to me and each time unsuccessfully. Is it me or my party?

Popped into DF today, and my PLD attempts to take off without protect (does it himself before engaging). Once I finally finish my initial dungeon ramp up (Aetherflow, Protect, SS, summon, etc) we take off and he pulls from the start of the map all the way to the ramp into the forest. Then we stop to kill everything. Off of memory, that would be... ~12 expert level mobs simultaneously? Is this standard procedure for anyone else?

I blow my CDs, tank blows his. We all still die. I didn't check their gear, but off of memory the tank had an Allagan sword, BRD had relic+, and BLM had moogle rod. I myself have my SCH relic+ and around i89. If it was just one occurrence, I'd say someone wasn't pulling their weight or wasn't geared properly, but this is the third of three attempts at this technique so I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong...
