2) Teach the tank when to use his defensive cooldowns so that it catches the Wicked Wheels. Replace him if he's incompetent.

This is an easy choice to me.
I'm from Sarg too, and this is why there is almost never tanks doing Garuda EX. You don't have any learning tanks, or "under geared" (sub i83? lawl?) joining either. I've made Garuda EX parties taking literally an hour to get 2 tanks. Double WW strat relies on tanks previous knowledge/experience to be able to do it. New tanks usually screw up on Spiny already with just OT position. Triangle strategy is more forgiving on everyone, including heals. Really all it takes is for the top DPS to face Chirada away from the group first (it always comes at same time, herp derp), then move on for downburst after friction. Its really much easier then people make it out to be. It wasn't on a popular YouTube vid for NA people however, so it has never become an established strat.

While its easy to say "if it ain't broke don't fix it", many melee needing to complete/farm this EX are screwed over everyday because of a choice in perceived superior strategy, which might save literally no time to thirty seconds in the end.
