This was the closest I came to downing the A8S dummy today. Maybe it'll help you a bit re: playing on controller? I dunno. I never cycle hotbars to check buffs, because it'll inevitably lead to hanging gcds which is a massive dps loss. On attempts where I fucked my rotation and delayed a gcd by even 0.2 seconds, my dps plummeted from 1710 to ~1640 on that particular failure.

I optimize for a 3-minute fight in there a little (I screw it up every single time because I'm an incorrigible idiot) and pulled ~1757 with the gear I linked earlier. I didn't record my i211 Sephirot spear A5S kill, but I can do that tomorrow if you'd like. Also with... I think... Steamed Staff HQ + X-Potion of Strength
