Focus target stun/silence (e.g. /ac "Blunt Arrow/Spirits Within/Shield Bash/etc" <f>) Banish 3s, AoE w/ dots are just handled with high DPS + Holy stun. A lot of things can be bruteforced so long as they can be stunned or silenced with high enough DPS.

Big pulls just aren't as practical anymore when you consider those factors, and last I knew, wiping a lot - if at all - doesn't sound like it's part of the speed run description.
I was doing big pulls in my fledgling PLD a month ago in a mixture of ilvl 90 and 110 items for expert roulette without any issues - it all comes down to cooldown usage and DPS composition. The gear discrepancy from FCoB (even unupgraded poetics) is bigger than 2.1's BCoB/Mythology gear so I have no idea where you got the idea that current expert dungeons aren't efficient anymore.
