Pacing is an entirely seperate issue from who is pulling, IMO.
I'm guilty of leading slow moving groups, at least initially with pickup groups that is. Once people get a feel for each other and it's clear everyone's doing their job adequately, I speed up pulls significantly.
One advantage of a tank pulling while others are still drinking/looting is you often end up with better aggro buildup than when everyone is bored and itching to start killing. :P
It is a fine balance though. If I push a group too hard, we will frequently wipe (healer interrupts a drink to heal an early crit then gets oom, or whetever) and I pretty much have nobody but myself to blame.
