I'm not sure which move you mean here, probably the Iron Chariot (circle AoE knockback)? We have our melees just eating the move but it's rarely any danger to them. We have 2 WHMs and keep regen up on all melees and also rotate AoE stoneskin on them.

We tried this for the first time yesterday. Had a WAR tank and he didn't need too much healing (only have experience in phase 1!) other than when he got hit by the defense down thing. And when he did, both of us cast Cura on him, then one did Esuna and the other Aerora on Darnus. Our MNK also used the disbel combo.
As many others have stated PLD tank is ideal for this fight. WAR takes too many plasma acoustics (def down) and requires one WHM to stay with him at all times. If your DRGs are pulling the damage they suppose to, the WAR tank will have a really hard time keeping hate. PLD's single target enmity generation and self healing makes them far superior to WAR in this fight.
