the only thing, Outside of mass AoE situations to actually use Ifrit is simply for Pet buffs - Enkindle (total potency of after DoT 450). Giving Ifrit the highest DPS of the three in that given time before the dot/ Buffs wear off. Then Its simply time to SC-Garuda back intime to chuck out contagion. Yeah its abit MP heavy but its is the best way- Damage wise to start a fight. or the best way that Ive found over all.
