Some Advice?~

I would of asked for help killing the adds if you needed it. Most of the time in AK though, I see everyone killing the adds.

Your gear doesn't look bad for the content that you're trying and a level 55 weapon is more than fine for AK or Ifrit. If you've already defeated Ifrit, I would recommend doing Garuda or Mog for their weapon for the added ilvl. For a DPS class, CT only requires the bare minimum to complete (half the people in there are probably spiritbinding junk anyways) so I would recommend doing that to get something before the end of the week. The main thing is pretty much not dying and you'll get the job done.

If you think you're still not doing enough damage then maybe you need to take a look at how you're using your skills and if there's anything that can be done to improve upon it.

Can the golem adds be stunned? If you can, then get Heavy Thrust and/or Disembowel up and you'll do a *lot* more damage to them. Worst to worst, get Heavy Thrust up from the boss when you see an add coming. And make sure you do the combos. Sounds silly to say but it's very common for Dragoons to not do them. Don't forget to use your Jumps between GCDs and power them up when you can. Now, you won't be able to do the Impulse to Chaos combo if you can't get behind it (unless you take a pot shot to the boss and finish the combo off on the add), but True Thrust to....the name totally escaped me....(with Life Surge if you can) will take a big chunk out of its life. Try to avoid Blood for Blood if your healer isn't good, but if you can count on him/her, it'll help.

Golems can be stunned, however they should never be targetting a DPS unless the tank is doing a pretty miserable job.
