Our party setup was:
WHM/SMN (me, in retrospect I should have subbed RDM or NIN)
NIN/WAR
NIN/WAR
RDM/WHM
BLM/WHM
DRG/WAR |
Very solid party setup. Two ninjas in this fight proves to be verrrry helpful when it comes to tanking different mobs.

My two NINs and the DRG beat down a pair of mammets, while the RDM and BLM kited. I didn't have to do much - just Regen and Haste, and if someone got in trouble I'd drop a Cure 3 and kite.
Total Time on this section: about 8 minutes, including the opening cutscene.

Another really good way of doing this is letting one ninja kite 4 of them and having the other ninja pulling to the rest of the party. This worked very well for my party. Then again, we had a whm to help with cures, so this may not be the best option. >.<
Don't have time to quote the rest, but I can say this. Whenever you get into CS, skip it fast. The cutscene time cuts into the 45 minutes you have to beat the mission.
