How viable is Ifrit on Sephirot? With all the raid damage is it enough physical to make Radiant Shield useful?

I've been able to clear Sephirot using Ifrit only, Garuda only, and also Ifrit through adds and swapping to Garuda for the last phase. Admittedly, I'm still trying to figure out how to play this class, but I don't see much of a difference DPS wise?

From my understanding, Radiant scales on your characters physical attack power so you will reflect low damage and your physical dps and tanks will reflect more damage. But the tanks' physical attack power went down as of 3.2 and they're the ones who are getting hit the most often. (The WAR in my static, at least, said he had more attack power with the same gear pre-patch.) Perhaps Radiant was stronger pre-patch? Edit: Btw, I should mention for Sephirot, he quits autoattacking during the final phase, so the only time the shield would be useful is when the sets of adds appear with the whirlwind.
