What do you mean by "TUT"?
The thing with pullups is that within the crossfit framework most people quickly get to the point of their max reps of either far beyond what one would do for strength/hypertrophy training. When I want to train upper body pulling strength I'll either do weighted pullups or L-pullups. Doing 3 sets of 12 deadhangs would be kind of pointless for me and my strength endurance is still nothing compared to the guys doing 50-60 kipping and 25+ deadhang.
Also I wouldnt compare them to cheat curls. I think a better analogy is split jerks vs. shoulder press. Both exercises' limit strength is shoudlers, but split jerks incorporate more muscle groups, a skill element and most of all are done explosively.
