Thanks for all the feedback.
It seems that there may be acceptable applications for transferring solder from the iron; specifically when you can inspect the result to be sure that you have gotten good wetting.

Possibly a problem with terms here.
We usually think of transfer soldering as transfer printing of solder paste via pins, or other shaped tools from a controlled depth pool of solder to the work and then reflowing.
I think what is meant in the question is melting a gob of solder onto 'iron bit (tip in US English) and then transferring to the work.
This is usually not thought good technique as there is a tendency for the flux core to be burnt out on the tip before reaching the work.
So extra flux could be applied to work, also improving thermal transfer, as remarked.

It's possible for a good operator to obtain acceptable results in prototyping/low volume doing this. Higher volumes would merit a little more thought on designing a less craft like process.

Ben - do you mean dippable solder paste?
