The new lazy aggro has it's pro's and cons. It forces bards to manage their pulls instead of just zerg pulling and letting mobs run wild from every direction. You see a lot less people complain about being trained in zones like DL. It really become problematic in zones like burning woods. Pulls take much much longer, upwards of 30 minutes sometimes for me. That's the only zone I really noticed a major increase in pull times.
I keep my pulls to 25 now, just because I like to take a little break in between each pull. Steadily aoe'ing for 2 straight pulls is a bit outside of my desired time to kill without being able to mentally reset.
After 54, if you abandon strafing for snare, having 25 is essential since snare won't hit that 26 mob. This isn't a major issue, since most zones favor the strafe anyway. And the ones that don't, usually don't have 25 mobs (velks, CS, WL etc).
