So, Chirada aggros the Black Mage who is standing with the rest of the group and casts Slipstream. Nobody reacts to it. Wipe.
There is no problem with this strategy. If you think it's tough, get a good Bard.

How I always do 3 way is for me to play as a bard. Sisters spawns, pops raging strikes yada yada and it's almost instant grab and hold aggro. I'm already positioned and Chirada auto comes to me without my melees trying to grab aggro and pull them to position like a fool. Why make the Dragoon tank Chriada and waste all his DPS potential because he can only attack from front? Bard does it fine. With all the offensive CDs popped and DoTs ticking I can hold aggro until Chirada dies (she's supposed to die fast anyways, and it does take time for your DRG/MNK to out aggro you).

Really, stop making the DRG/MNK tank Chirada. Ask your Bards to do it. Standing in position, popping CDs and burst at Chirada = Chirada auto comes to position and your MNK/DRG can do full damage potential and kills her faster. Dodge the friction, stack the downstream and you should be done by then.
