Why have everyone in the middle for? If you have 2 on the left and 3 on the right... most of the time one side gets erupted and not the entire DD group. that's why you do 7 minute ifrits and not 4-5 minute ifrits.
The way it's done. no dd should ever stand outside those lines cos all your going to do is trap the healers with the later phase eruptions. 1 healer left. 1 healer right. all dd behind ifrit. WIN.
my blog on it
over 150 wins with this strategy so it works. and it's also very popular on sargatanas and saronia.
epic win set up. 1 war 2 whm 2 blm and 3 brds. song fest of tp mp and accuraccy buffs on the whole group. win in under 7 minutes

i would mostly attribute your 4-5 minute fights down to you having 6 dds over the standard 5 to have more of an impact than the dds positioning. you effectively put out 120% of a conventional groups dps taking 6 dds over 5 which is obviously going to hae a large effect on the fight time.
personally though outside a group of people i know well, I would not trust most pick up groups with such a risky strategy.
ITT we rage about 1.19 content

The middle is safe. For a lot of reasons.
1) If cracks appear under healers, they can move without endangering BLMs. This means BLMS are free to continue DPSing without having to worry about running.
2) If cracks wipe out a healer, they aren't gonna wipe out anyone else. If you stack BLMS with healers, then you run the risk of having multiple ppl wipe from one freakin crack.
3) If you have melee DD its easier if BLMS stand behind them. That gives us a pathway to run to the top right or top left corners without endangering BLMs OR WHMs. You basically take a diagonal path to the side and up.
All in all everyone is safe when you have a whm on each side and everyone else behind ifrit.
You do realize there's no need to stack blms on whms right? There are two safe spots on both the left and right side.The middle is safe. For a lot of reasons.
