whattomine vs. mining pool coins?

Hi guys,

I might have some general understanding issues about mining pools.

I have an antminer s7 (sha256) and antminer d3 (x11). Of course there are several pools available, but most of the pools have limited support about coins (=multi-coins).

If I check whattomine.com with my hardware (https://whattomine.com/asic?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sha256f=true&factor%5Bsha256_hr%5D=4700.0&factor%5Bsha256_p%5D=1350&factor%5Bscrypt_hash_rate%5D=500.0&factor%5Bscrypt_power%5D=800.0&x11f=true&factor%5Bx11_hr%5D=19300.0&factor%5Bx11_p%5D=1200.0&factor%5Bqk_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqk_p%5D=75.0&factor%5Bqb_hr%5D=450.0&factor%5Bqb_p%5D=84.0&factor%5Bcost%5D=0.115&sort=Profitability7&volume=0&revenue=7d&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=abucoins&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bitfinex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bittrex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=bleutrade&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=cryptopia&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=hitbtc&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=poloniex&factor%5Bexchanges%5D%5B%5D=yobit&dataset=Main&commit=Calculate) it says that it is currently worth to mine DPC, PIX, START-Coin (for X11) and DEM, Unit, PPC-Coin (for SHA256).

If I check now the mining pools I can't find any pool that support these coins. So how to mine them?
Pools like mining pool hub seems to support only 3 coins?! Is there any pool that automatically mines coins that are worth for my current algorithm? Is there any reason why the big mining pools only support common coins (which are mined by most of the people...)?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
