I remember a version of this topic in XI called Summoner burns. Someone would go pull the entire zone than summoners would astral flow(something like AoE Lb3) all the enemies, and gain x levels really fast. I think in Dzemael just recently tank pulled 1st portion of zone and we killed 25+adds, granted no big burst spells at that level.

Things of that nature omit any mechanics any monster had to begin with when a tank can hold aggro and not die to multitudes of enemies.
