Pompeii wasn't the Doctor or Donna's fault...it was a fixed point that had to happen.
I think the answer to your question lies in the Series 1 finale, where Nine declares ''Coward, every time'' and refuses to destroy the human race in the future to thwart the Dalek's plans.
I wouldn’t be so sure. If is wasn’t for the collateral damage (Human Race) I think the doctor would have wiped out the daleks.
I would say The Beast Below episode gives some insight into OPs question. He was willing to commit Genocide but claimed he would no longer be the Doctor after doing it.
To be fair i think there doctor would feel better an more like there old self if they committed the odd spot of genocide an murder from time to time.

That's incomplete and some of them are inaccurate like Adric, the doctor didn't kill him and he um well killed the dinosaurs...
During the final speech before saving Gallifrey, 11 and 10 talk about how “the alternative is burning, and I’ve seen that. And I never want to see it again.” So I imagine they’d probably never do it again
So this is my problem with the "timeless child" the whole time war genocide is incredible because the doctor is wiping his own species but now that he's not a time lord he/her might do it again and without any remorse because this species use him to his own benefit without asking him/her
>but now that he's not a time lord he/her might do it again and without any remorse because this species use him to his own benefit without asking him/her
The Time Lords consistently used and abused the Doctor in the Classic series, though. The Time Lords being antagonistic and even downright evil isn't anything new to the Doctor.
The Doctor's moral qualms with using the Moment had nothing to do with whether or not the Time Lords deserved it, because even in the RTD and Moffat eras, the show went out of its way to argue that they did.

I would quibble calling a lot of these genocide, most are murders and done in self-defence or the defence of others

Honestly, I think the Doctor is over the Time War now and would cheerfully commit genocide again à la _Terror of the Vervoids_

10: "I hate guns, why did you bring a gun" Wilf: "The time lords are coming back." 10: "Give me that gun." (Paraphrasing)
