This is how I beat it on my SMN as well - it helps a lot if the tank moves with the boss and keeps it stationary in the center of the seeds - otherwise your timing needs to be good.
As for WHM using holy - this tactic becomes availible at level 48 when you get SoS refresh - a 47 WHM will go OOM trying it
Maybe it was just the teams I ran it with, but half the time I didn't really have a chance to switch to the boss to DoT safely. I would, on non-AoE-heavy teams use Miasma II for some help, but generally I had my hands full just keeping people alive by the time the adds started spawning, and then getting the annoying things off of me once they did start attacking...
Though that part is probably not really my fault.
Didn't you get the memo? http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1428873
Just ONE way to unlock AK and its by completing Aurum Vale + Praetorium. There is no other way so dont believe anything else. I tried all those theories people said of how to unlocked it and none worked.
I've done this dungeon for only one try. Didn't seem that hard like the description of TS.
Clear communication and strategy is an absolute must in this dungeon for sure. Things that helped big time was;
1. LockS: Tank emphasized the "Gold Lung" Debuff and made sure everyone knew exactly where to look for their current standing with the Debuff, Tank marked each fruit with Square, Circle, Triangle and X, and everyone designated themselves with each fruit when their debuff reaches 2/3
2. CoinC: He doesn't have Rings, but we personally used the little loading bar that appears on our screen with the initiating move. As soon as we seen the 100 swipe or Eye of Beholder loading we ran like hell... tank would run through its legs which makes me chuckle every time XD. We also made sure we're not in his sights when he randomly turns away from the tank.
Side note, Drgs looks awesome when they Elusive Jump away from 100 Swipe like a boss..
4. Final Boss: repeat strategy from 1st boss and focus any and all AOEs on the adds.
