Pull 2, drop Bishop Turret and let it tank the add.
My chocobo is out in healer mode permanently while i'm questing. I even get EXP chains when quest mobs are close together.

As a MCH, takes me 20 - 30 seconds to kill a mob my level (Choco doesnt attack at all) so i really do think its a case of PEBKAC
