1. I value my time. As such, I like to do things as efficiently as possible. Sure, we could AoE down 10 mobs in about 10 seconds. But we could also AoE down 15 mobs in 10 seconds. I would prefer the extra experience.
2. My leveling toons always have full heirlooms to make things go faster. Dungeons are not tuned for players with full heirlooms, as such dungeons are very boring to me when done the *standard* way. Because of this, I like to make things more challenging. The only feasible way to do that in a low level dungeon is to pull extra mobs. This fulfills some of the challenge I seek.
3. To add on to the previous post, I like to use and learn my classes abilities as I level up. The best way to do this is while you're actually playing. I cannot properly do this with a 5 mob pull that dies in a matter of seconds. But if I pull 15 mobs, then I get to make use of many of my abilities to cc, kite, stay alive, AoE, etc. Learning is best done in an area that is challenging I believe. How else will you get better?
4. I don't need a tank or a healer (on my dps toons). Likewise, my tanks don't need healers or dps, and my healers don't need tanks or dps. Considering my toon vastly overgears the content, those roles aren't needed. I will pull what I can handle, so stop worrying about what I do, because it makes no difference if you choose to help me or not. If you want to tank those mobs and do some dps on them, great, that speeds things up and everyone benefits. If you choose not to, you're only hurting yourself.
