If you are DDing on Ifrit and dying from his AoE too much, your healer is also in the wrong. After the latest patch, when the other cnj dies, I catch myself healing the tank without a problem. CNJ's can throw in heals to the melee dd's very easily because I do that now.

For tanking, I've never seen a PGL tank Ifrit yet but have heard about it plenty of times. It's nice to see that this goes on. Great job to the community for changing things up a bit.
