Dungeons and Ability pruning..

I do. Word im hearing is, they are trying to remove big pulls and force tanks to focus tanking/healers healing/dps dpsing. Unless dps does a lot more damage i fear that dungeons will feel longer. War is losing its hp absorb that it uses during big pulls as well..Maybe it would balance out with samurai having huge skill potencies and the new stats.

yeah i like ffxiv dungeons and stuff but when you have to grind them it really takes the piss when you're being forced to move at the speed of smell

It can't be for that reason, though. Forcing pulls to be smaller guarantees that even terrible tanks and healers will have gaping windows during which to DPS.

Frankly it's only the largest, messiest pulls that actually force tanks to be more concerned with mitigation and that require more healing from the healer, and even then the obstacle of CS toggle that thwarted a lot of "casual" healers is removed as such in 4.0, so it's sort of a mixed message they appear to be sending.
