Once he gets you in place and the first missile goes off id probly try to hit manaward(or possibly just before that first missile? not having done the fight, im guessing at which timing would work best), then go full speed on the attacks. Once ward wears off, try surecast. By the time thats over the fight should be more or less done.
Assessing the video, thinking in terms of BLM, I'm not so sure this is the play. The attacks all look simple enough to dodge, the intent seems to be more "get your hits in when it's safe."

At that stage, BLM probably suffers more than any other job regarding rotation. I'd say, Fire 1 should probably be the spell to focus on casting every time you have a few moments between attacks. Once the attacks start coming and you won't be casting anything for several seconds, just Transpose to recover MP for the next breather. Trying to work in the B3/F3 swaps runs the risk of losing timers and sticking you with a long cast to get going again, and just not really getting a chance to get the engine revved in all that movement.

Additionally, after having failed the fight... there should also be an option to do it with Easy mode... unless devs forgot to put that in with this rework...
