Why do people not understand A8?

I still don't know what to do when the AoE circles and Arrow drop at the same time in A8 last phase.
For some reason I always die.
It's super confusing. At this point I think it's because I'm going in front of him and getting hit with something, but I still can't be sure. Thankfully I'm the only one that dies.

Its the same mechanic from the final boss of Void Arc and a few other places, stack on the party to split damage similar to the dual laser cannons really. It hits hard but shouldn't be fatal unless you have a few vuln stacks from the raising/lowering platforms or something.

The problem is dodging the circles and getting to the stack in time without going in front of him and getting smoked for tonnes of damage.
It's tough as a BLM.
I'm having to use Aetherial Manipulation to get to the stack in time.
Void Ark mechanics are 1000 times easier.
