Trying to skip ghost in O5S is somewhat stretching things. It is by no means necessary, and the advantage you gain by doing that is marginal. This isn't like tank LBing Byakko. In fact, it's almost borderline lazy. "Oh, but the DPS gain..." You mean the DPS you gain from wasting the Warrior's biggest and ONLY high damage window on something that won't even affect that boss' HP? Yay, you skipped ghosts! Warrior also lost the potential to do over 100k damage to the boss. Not to mention the risk of your loafing screen taking longer than usual, causing a wipe. But yeah, by all means, keep on skipping ghosts.
Your post is too salty for who clearly did not understand the mech you are talking about. You just forgot to think about the dps gain of 7 other people who would be able to hit the boss a lot earlier. And I'm not even taking in account the gain healers would have for not bringing in Esuna and the other tank for not needing to spend mitigations against his ghost.

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore since it seems to be patched now.
