In that fight, you actually do want to unleash AoEs to burn the mobs down fast, so Overpower's a good choice (Blizzard II is also great, if you've got a THM). The healer, whether ACN or CNJ, should be able to keep up with the damage, since the mobs actually don't hit that hard.
That's makes me feel both better (I'm not a stoopid tank!) and worse (OMG how can I not recognize bad healing?).

Have you played the guildhest with Bockman yet? That's good training on when to pick up adds versus let the DPS deal with them.
I did do that, but I'll do it again. Â I need to work on positioning before Ifrit anyhow.
