well as a side note, well geared tanks typically just tank everything still. Heck, when i group with encs i instruct them not to mez ever because we lose AE dps, we just zerg around like nothing matters (Infact, i don't instruct them and assume they already know that this will be my preference). They will have to make the content alot tougher for many tanks you'd group with to even want single pulls, let alone need them.
I suspect they are going to include pulling in the new raid events, guess we have to wait and see what comes out of beta. I think they want to give monks some more utility with that instead of upping their dps. They are the worst melee dps class atm. I figure this will serve to make the group game harder on the weaker players
I used to be big into pulling too. I'd order my group not to cast group spells (so nothing lands on me while splitting) and chain singles onto a tank, a fresh mob would arrive the same second the old one would die. With killing blow, wizard nukes, assassinate, headshot and just dps in general, the sturdiness of tanks, and the benefits of all those group short dur buffs.. those days are never coming back unless you stop raiding/grouping with high end raiders, which FL currently are. You and your friends would have to take off all of their armour and play some kind of hardcore mode by yourselves or deliberatly, you'd have to seek out misfit groups with weak/bad players.
I have faith that the devs don't want to purely punish the less self sufficient classes and the weaker players, that monks will see some action on the new raids. Many have lamented the death of trash clear/raid pulling on the boards over the years. If they don't give us that, then they're just fucking stupid.
