If Phoenix is better, then your non movement rotation would be Bahamut > Fire Stance > Phoenix > Fire Stance > Bahamut. Now if Wind and Earth stance are stronger than Demi, then yes you would want to use all three before moving on... maybe. If Fire stance is the strongest wouldn't you want to try and have it ready at all times which would mean you want to recharge it every 45s; Demi.
"fire stance" is not 30s, its 2 2.8s casted gcds within that 30 seconds (so really 5.6s, or 5.3s if you swiftcast one of them) and 2 instant gcds before you cast another summon spell. If you just cast ifrit and no other summons before phoenix, then you are losing dps for ~30 seconds while your demi trance cools down.
