And also the point here is not forcing others to play in a certain way. It's that there's a undisputed better way to play, both from a difficulty (big pulls are easy and aoe rotations are actually easier than single target rotations) and from a time efficiency (wall-to-wall pulls allow you to save around 10 minutes per dungeon) point of view, provided the party has a modicum of competence.

If a party is not able to manage that, it's a bad party, plain and simple. It means that 3 or all party members do not understand some of the fundamental mechanics of the game's combat system itself or how their jobs work. And if this happens in a lvl 71 dungeons, it's very concerning. And when that happens, players should be encouraged to step up, not be told that they'e fine because big pulls are something that only elite players do (which is obviously false).
