RUN is great for AOE shockwave as well. Just remember, altho the WS sleeps, it is a PHYSICAL ws. Preload Temper and try to first get off a 300% dimidiation eith Epeo and you won't wont for tp the whole fight.
Opens up another DD to do real stuff to boss.

My group has had some trouble with aura abilities going off as well. I'm on PLD and initially in my full on tank set I was not able to generate sufficient TP reliably and I've also found that since the tank is holding two Paladin trolls a flash can be enough to cause your AoE to miss entirely (although my WS sets also leave something to be desired and probably could be specced for a great deal more accuracy for this).
We've also noticed that we think being hit by an an AoE does not reset the timer before the the aura appears, it only removes the aura. So hypothetically I think you could AoE one add with the aura only to have it appear on the other one a moment later.

So long as they both go down at the same time they will come up at the same time, that's why you don't hit each one individually
Well, not always the literal millisecond, the clocks are slightly variable

Good call, and lol yessssss on the reminder. I just figured that out myself the other night when our DRK was there using GS and had Shockwave ready if needed in case the BRD was slow on Aeolian Edge. Which, uh, wasn't very helpful the couple times he tried it because... WTF Shockwave feels so much like it SHOULD be magical with the sleep! But alas, it is not!

Yeah...I effed that up too the first run. That's how we learned it was physical (after checking wiki).
Another tip: have the cor open with tact. Roll immediately on entry, then fix chaos/stp before pull.
That nullsong from dragon is a showstopper. He's gotta go down fast.

I attempted to duo VD with NIN + BRD, had no problem silencing the dahak with brd/whm in a great mag acc set (mostly AF+4), problem was once I switched to the boss it was too much aura spam and had to use nearly all my tp from both characters to keep auras down and not much dps was getting done so it just kind of stalled out and couldn't make much progress from there eventually it would get a bad move off.
Full groups should easily zerg it down, could probably 3 man it pretty easily, just need one person doing some damage on top of the set up I had and I think it would have been fine.

I can handle Difficult pretty effortlessly COR BRD WAR with Val, Monb & Ygnas trusts. VD everything seems to fall apart though between Dahak and the adds destroying PLD trust.
comfortably did D 3box a few times thing month
tried MNK or NIN so far with BRD COR handling the aoe
I think I would need a rdm or whm,sch that can land silence as a fourth for vd

When in doubt, SCH solo VD it out. Just Helix dragon and boss, die and abuse DoT on zombie. Almost every month is easy month. Can bascally take 4-5 leeches.
For this month just Hydrohelix Dragon then swap to aurorastorm and Fusion boss really quickly then burst Luminohelix. Then die asap so he doesn't put the regen move up from aura.
Should die after 2 times then can easily kill the rest. About 10-15 min VD solo, trust tank makes it slightly easier and more breathing room.

I believe this is possible, but I haven't been able to do it....so wondering if you have any pointers?
Dragon is easy I can do Distortion > Ebullience > Hydrohelix II for 10-11k and it dies.
I found better success just dying after this and not messing with bruiser, but either way I do aurorastorm II > Fusion > Ebullience >
Luminohelix II and typically hits about 9k-9300ish. if I get naked and cancel buffs sometimes aura still goes up, i think once it didn't and it took it to exactly 50% which I think took a hundred fists to the face before I could get off next burst.
If its sub 9k helix or aura is up more than a couple seconds, I don't think its possible to win this, as you'll be double weak and unable to put an additional helix on it to knock off the last few percent (although with arise you can have helix duration surpass weakness)
So unless I'm missing something (tactic or some gear to get a better helix)
I'm using unranked bunzi's and Ammurapi Shield (I have a +2 neck which seems to be required for this) (would I be better farming a Culminus?)
I can do D without much trouble (the main difference the helix easily takes it past 50%)
