I find When Raiding Savage that Searing Light coms off cooldown just before Bahamut comes up. You could also off set Searing Light by adding a cast in the opener.

I currently use R3+Searinglight > R3> Bahamut and that sets me up for nice alignment throughout the encounter unless i goof it up (which is usually the case)
NEVER delay SL. That’s terrible advice. It’s more of a loss to delay SL than just hold them because it’s not just your damage but the party’s. Now that being said you are correct that the new skills do fill the gap enough and as long as you remember to use everything within the summons phases you’ll never have to delay anything unless you have horrendous spell speed.

Holding Bahamut/Pheonix each for a GCD or two should fix it and makes it easier if the boss has downtime. And if the boss does have downtime adjust based on its length.

Edit: just a reminder SL is long as heck and 3% damage in that length, that’s pretty beefy.
