I'm a PLD and I'll admit it took me longer than it should have to learn this lesson. I'd gotten so used to Expert Dungeons in Shire Gear that i expected to be able to pull large and oathdance like it's a disco party, but that shit doesn't fly at level.

However, my opinion has always been that if I've pulled large, and we die, *it is my fault*. I'm the one who brought more enemies than we could handle. I hold that healer is, and has always been, the hardest job, and it doesn't require a bad healer to wipe on a too-large trash pull or poorly handled mechanic. I've played as WHM, at 60, fully geared, and even overleveled, there's just a lot more to pay attention to.

So yeah, I've learned to pull small, but I expect that a lot of tanks are just coming into this content and have learned to pull large because it used to work for them.
