Easier if people do it right, absolutely. Sadly, I've had less success with this method than with the standard NA method. Expecting a DF group to reliably pull off the triangle is terrible, but it's also why I only do this fight with my FC anymore or to assist in a carry for an LS.
This varies based on server group. With the heavy JP playbase on my server, it's basically 3 way all day every day. Just an all round cleaner strategy, Mr Happy has a lot to answer for.
