I never engage Ifrit on my THM. I just use Absorb TP.

You can use the Absorb spell on everything. The only time I would engage any mobs on THM if there are 1 or 2 left and I don't have to conserve MP for some reason.

At OP's comments: all you need to do is wait for an aoe voke. Paralyze/Slow/Bio, etc will not get you agro. However, i wouldn't heal anyone without Out of Sight or Soughspeak as THM until the tank did an aoe WS and further secured hate.

For one, THM healing is inferior to a CON healing where the agro you gain stays the same.
