If you are getting crickets from your FC you need to find another FC. I personally stay away from "large" FCs because they're too big to actually care, and they get cliquey.

That said, regarding the boss for Stone Vigil I think the time limit is sufficient. My partner and I did it with a DF group and while we had some troubles with the wyvern before the dragon (that took a few runs due to bad tornado placement...) we engaged with about 12 minutes and were able to beat the boss on the second run (with about 30s on the clock remaining!).

I'm not overly fond of dungeon timers primarily because the story cutscenes count against them but as others have put... It makes it a hard fail check. It's that or enrage timers and I think this is probably the lesser of two evils.
