    The Hall of the Novice also tries to teach tanks in one of the exercises to separate groupings of enemies from the rest (like the mammets from the other types of enemies) and kill them piece by piece like that.

    However, such a tactic doesn't even work in ARR dungeons, let alone more recent ones. The enemies in a pack will just aggro together anyway.

    Not to mention that isn't the preferred or more efficient method that most players/tanks do (pulling everything they can from to wall to wall).

    It does work in some ARR dungeons at least – roaming enemies are separate aggro groups to standing enemies in the same zone, so it's possible lure one lot without alerting the other. For instance, the first room of Aurum Vale could be handled that way, or after the second boss there you have the room full of diremites with some jellyfish roaming back and forth through the middle of the pack, so if you're playing "as instructed" you can just draw the jellyfish to attack you and deal with them before entering the room.

    There's also the one where they say to use single target abilities on a pack of 3 mobs which is big no-no

    I think this is a big one that also needs to be updated. To encourage AoEs on mob groups

    The biggest problem here is we don’t get AoE attacks until after these intro dungeons if I remember correctly. We need those skills much earlier, before these dungeons. The tutorials doesn’t have this because we don’t have the skill yet, so they give us single target instructions.
