So I switched back to FFXIV recently from WoW,I played a bit of ARR before I left, why does everyone have such a hard on to rush through all dungeons?!

The same reason they do in any game: We've done them a dozen times before and we can. We're no longer there to see the sights, but just to get the currency and leave.
my g/f beat the story over 17 characters, plays 10 hrs a day, and ran each dungeon 100x over.. that us a bad reason to enforce a bad play style SE has been systematically tring get rid of.
Zerg rushing is the new meta for people who jump potion'd or leveled through PotD. Don't expect anyone to know how to turn on Shield Oath/Defiance/Grit (heck the game keeps turning it OFF when you start a new instance that level syncs.) Don't expect healers to know how to cleanse debuffs or restore MP. If you get more than two DPS hits off, you might learn a combo.
Really though, the thing the game is missing is a one-time "level cap quest" type of restriction to bend the arm of players to actually do the quests that teach you how to use that skill. This is the one thing that FFXIV seems to fail to do that other games at least ask if the player wants a tutorial for that skill before handing it out. PotD just pops up something at level 52 the second you get the job gauge and everyone just clicks it off because they need to zerg rush through the dungeon.
BTW type "zerg rush" into google.com
