We usually run BLM/BLM or BLM/BRD and I have yet to have major problems with them yanking hate off me en masse when running this way.

Try using FoF early in the pull as it raises your attack and therefore raises the enmity generated by Flash.
This whole post..... This is how you aoe tank on pld. Anybody that says pld can't aoe tank clearly can't play the job.

I speed run it with two i104+ Blm's that do easy 340+ dps on turn 8. We speed run in less than 10 mins, I've yet to have any problems holding aoe threat, and one doesn't even have quelling strikes....
