The Problem: Better on plumes, but AB did about 3500 wiping half of us out, despite Battle Voice being used.

We then tried this tactic: BLMs hold off DPS until the 3rd jump, then they nuke like crazy in order to skip phase 2.
The Problem: Didn't work. We had Phase 2 and we still got clobbered by AB.

BLMs seemed to be melded up pretty well. Most of the team did. We still somehow didn't have enough damage output to kill Plumes quickly and get Garuda burned down.

I was the WAR tank. I held hate well enough and I used Steel Cyclone whenever the plumes were summoned.
Well heres your first issue, you cannot let her jump more than twice, every time she jumps its like multiple plumes going off on each of the pillars. If you are having trouble with getting the plumes down make sure one of the bards is using battle voice with a tp song on all the melees (if you use the two bard method) before the frst set of plumes pops, this will help the melees quite a bit. Another big thing you need to do is make sure that the bards are getting 3000 tp to do rain of death out of combo.
