True, ninjas' AoE pales in comparison to a monks and especially casters, but they are still fairly efficient at it after the recent buffs. Open up with a Katon, then Kassatsu into Doton, and spam Death Blossom. Katon again if Doton hasn't fallen off yet (otherwise refresh it), and throw an Armor Pierce combo at one of them to keep Huton up. It all does quite a bit of damage, I never have a problem AoEing when I queue into Expert on my own NIN.
