I agree that the best way to "fix" the Egis is to give them their own optimal situation, though I think it would be better to split it up with Ifrit being the multi-target Egi (give his basic attack a DoT component on top of the basic damage so he ends up getting a benefit for bouncing between targets) and Garuda being the single target. You would want to use Ifrit any time you have multiple targets reasonably close to each other but Garuda for pretty much all of the others.
Egis are already immune or have very high resistance to many mechanics.
