Why is BLM getting a buff?

We've tried two placements, one being BG method and the other looking something like this http://i.imgur.com/5ICnhvo.jpg , which is what we're currently doing. The group huddles around B at the start, first meteor is red, second is yellow, that pattern repeats. Should OT get a meteor before B is filled, they go to A instead. Once B is filled, we move to C, then to A. Normally we make 5 meteors not 6, but you are allowed 6 for that phase of the fight.

Anyways, it would be hard to explain my movements without some sort of video, so I'll just say that while I am close to a meteor drop point, I stay away from the group and move to a spot where my cast wont get interrupted when Chariot/Thermionic is coming. For that phase of the fight I usually parse 2nd sometimes 1st along with the SMN, (We have SMN/BRD/BRD/BLM). In a pug group last week I parsed 4~10 DPS behind a DRG (DRG/BLM/BLM/BRD) and I ended up in 2nd place. So I must be doing something right.

If i'm looking at the imgur link right, your party is staying in the circle and the previous mspaint you showed is based on that. We initially tried that method but we ended just putting any color to the rims of the big circle because it's easier to manage. I'm not sure if we're actually screwing ourselves over with this method but anyway, it seems to me that I cant emulate your methods. I'm staying way far behind from the boss because of the meteor method we're doing and I have to travel longer distances from outside the circle into the center and vice versa.
