I've found the "best" strat back in the day with Steps was to... well, basically have a healer as a tank. They stand up front between the boss' front legs and spam heals to get heal aggro on all the little mobs. They all run up to hit you, cannons tear them apart. Alternately, a tank can stand with them and spam Flash/Overpower/Unleash when the mobs run up and tank them while the cannons tear them apart.
This leaves the other tank and healer basically free to be on said cannons, so all the DPS can focus on the boss. This used to be the strat everyone used for a while after this pattern was figured out. However, with the advent of HW, it seems everyone has just... forgotten it. It's a shame, since it meant having the Trial done by the second barrier.
