Not (quite) the same thing.

Back in Patch 2.3 you could literally let Titan-Egi tank Ramuh EX by itself (no dedicated Tank needed at all).
It was such a glaring "exploit" that the devs' quickly adjusted all the pets so they wouldn't be able to (safely) tank anything as dangerous as an EX trial.

By contrast, that video showcased a party composed of 1 PLD, 1 WAR, 1 DNC and 5 SMNs. And every non-SMN in that party also had healing options.
As for the SMNs there, they all used/had Earthen Armor (the one action you called "generic") and Everlasting Flight (the HoT buff).
The latter being unreliable at best, considering you can only get it once you reach the Firebird Trance part of your rotation (i.e. at the very end of it).

So yeah...
