Byakko... HM or EX ?

Ding ding ding. I'm actually really hoping they patch this out so that parties where nobody breaks 4k DPS can't clear it by getting almost 20 seconds of free damage on the boss (also "no double jobs" is pretty frickin' annoying when you're an Astrologian, the class that can literally change their healing style to fit into any healer comp, including a comp with another Astrologian). I'm always sad to see non-melee-DPS LB use get punted to the side but I really do feel like being able to skip this aspect of it trivializes a big portion of the difficulty of the fight.

It isn't harder without the tank lb, though. It just takes longer because for a bit of time you're just not hitting the boss. Its simply more efficient to tank lb.

Yeah, that's why I made the edit that I did. Not sure if you saw it. It's an optimization tool for good groups but I'm not gonna pretend it's not a clutch for bad groups either.
