"Swift completion" is relative to the game, not the community

I do respect this point, but as a counterpoint: I think you underestimate the patience of an abused tank. I love the scions, and my squad, as they are never unkind!

OK, but that is still not "the way the devs intended" and just your personal way of dealing with tanking.

I guess what I was getting at with that "intended" line probably should have been phrased more as "not wrong." It is not wrong to play the dungeon one pull at a time, the way the AI parties flatout necessitate, and it is absolutely not worthy of rudeness or abuse. I think we can all agree on that.

I double pull for my trusts all the time when I was leveling my dps; single pulls are hardly 'necessitated' for them, Thancred can handle his own and doesn't need coddling, thanks.
If Thancred & Alphinaud, who are designed to be suboptimal compared to actual players in their corresponding roles, can handle double pulls with little in the way of issues, it speaks volumes to any tank in the DF who refuses to at least double pull.

If Yoshi-P intended for single pulls to be the norm, he'd make them hit like massive freight trains so that pulling more than one pack would be nigh unlivable besides only the highest skilled players using their toolkits to their fullest.
But as it stands, single pulling is so utterly boring for tanks sine you need 0 mitigation due to how hilariously weak they hit for, it's boring for healers since they almost never have to heal, and it's boring for dps who don't get to unleash their AoE skills across a pack of 6+ mobs and do thousands of potency per GCD. I literally can't understand anyone who wants to single pull past 50, it's an utter snoozefest.

^ And solely by no longer playing a multiplayer game as a multiplayer game, at that...

By that warrant, though, neither is it wrong for the other 3+ people in your party not to wish to have their time wasted according to your playstyle preference. Each preference is equally reasonable and equally invasive, so why not simply let the majority decide?
