If you stand far to the left on the edge of the arena, you can absorb the Nerve Gas without Manaward (1.5k-ish) and save Manaward for the second gas if you don't proc. I stand on the left above Kaliya's foot so I can cast-skate towards the tanks location, and either Manawall the Swipe and Resonance to get another cast (skate back into position) or skate back immediately.

Fire 3 opening has gotten me the greatest results so far, but my group doesn't roll with a Ninja. (Bard, DRG, Monk, BLM). I'll give your video some practice and see how my anecdotal results compare.
