Amdapor is an ARR dungeon and a Lv 50 one at that, so Ironworks is very good gear for the point that I am at.

Also what does a full pull mean for you? 50 enemies? 75 enemies? Even most of the Lv. 80s I have randomly grouped with do not usually pull more than 10-12 or so at a time in ARR dungeons, so you must know something they don't.
Full pulls are exactly what they sound like - pull until you cant pull anymore. There are walls stuck in every dungeon now so it's not as if you'd be able to pull 50 or 75 enemies but if those walls didn't exist then yes, that would be a full pull.

At that point (assuming scaling stayed the same) there might be times when the better choice would be to forego a full pull and split it into multiple, smaller pulls because the tank damage might become unbearable.

That is not the case right now.

Right now there are very few full pulls which pose any threat to a group that's like... functionally awake? You need to be bad to wipe to most other pulls, barring connectivity issues or some other outside influence.

If you haven't even gotten to HW I'm unsure as to why you think you have anything approaching a decent grasp on any of this. You've barely dipped your toes in the game and you're trying to make rules about swimming in the deep end of the pool.

As you do move into HW and beyond I have news though - you will continue to encounter people expecting these basic competencies. You'd be better served by learning your job and how to perform it adequately than complaining about healer role skills on the forums. As the levels go up there is less and less accepted leeway for you to be "still learning" and that doesn't fly at 80.
