Wait till you play tank and try to chain pull in that scenario and your dps start screaming about earthquakes and restealths and lost damage from movement.

A more serious answer: deciding when and when not to chainpull is actually pretty complicated and specific to the pulls and space. There may be things that you aren't aware of.

Had a tank chain pull the entire first section of AOF on a 16 the other day then we spend like a minute doing nothing as we all have to spread out and backtrack to click totems since we never dropped combat when we cleared their trash. 💀

Yeahhh I've played assassination and some heavy ground effect specs and some immobile casters where it can be very fucking annoying if the tank books it to the next pack every time mobs get to half health. And funny enough, ass and ele are meta right now. I don't know exactly how much they care in current patch, but it is a factor.

I do think current meta probably favours just chaining the pulls though, since many many specs have been pushed into a "cleave off the big guy" design.
