    Too. Bad.
    Except the majority of people running DF are the people who would like you to not go out of your way to waste time, which is all single-group pulling amounts to when decently geared. That preference not to actively waste time is all that "elitism" here amounts to. Basic competence. Not afking. Not neglecting cooldowns that take virtually no effort to use anyways. That's it.

    Multi-group pulls absolutely are the norm. Not pulling wall-to-wall has accounted for less than a tenth of my DF experiences even as a DPS (who is generally allowed no say in the decision, nor do I offer any opinion one way or the other), in ShB or SB, and never more than a fifth since early ARR.

    Edit: Again, I'm not saying that one should always multi-pull. If they don't know how to tank, or the healer doesn't know how to heal, then that's that: you do the safe option (whereby a DPS could do the tank's job with a halfway decent healer) and pull fewer mobs. But enough players have basic competence that multi-pulling is the typical standard of play and, yes, you should expect to have to meet that average when in DF. The lowest denominator doesn't suddenly get a free pass when varied from the norm. And the worst "elitists" can do after the average is achieved is silently make your run easier.
