To get the ball rolling, here's what I do (Context is Bahamut pushed before 2nd Earthshakers in P1, before 2nd Mega in P2, killed during 4th Akh Morn cast):
Phase 1:
1.) Infuriate with Huton Prep, full Unchained/Berserk combo on pull
2.) Berserk right before Phase Change (This WILL almost for certain cause pacification to be up when the first Shadow spawns, so I hope you got comfortable with picking adds up with flash)
Phase 2:
3.) Infuriate + Unchained when Unchained is off CD from first use.
Phase 3:
4.) Infuriate + Berserk/Unchained on the Blood and Pain combo. In pugs either hope that your group lets you pick up the Pain or cry when the Blood comes up immune to Physical. In a static situation just get the PLD to get both and beat up the pain.
5.) Infuriate + Berserk/Unchained should be available when the Sin spawns during the Twintania portion of this phase.
Phase 4:
6.) Berserk as first Megaflare is finishing up. If you are using Holmgang on the 2nd Akh Morn this can cause complications on the tank swap (again, I hope you cross-classed flash!)
7.) Infuriate + Unchained works particularly well during the 2nd Akh Morn if you are soaking with the MT, can cause complications with the tank swap if the other tank is not particularly attentive.
8.) Berserk at some point around the 3rd Akh Morn, should kill the boss not long after.
It's 5:30 AM right now so it's not as concise/coherent as it could be but it's something that has been bothering me for a while about optimization on this fight, so I'd like to see some other opinions on it. Not quite as frustrating as optimizing T12 though, fuck that turn.
