Your BRD should just be in a lot of fastcast/haste gear, max lullaby merits and just be quick about shooting off horde lullaby. Hell I even did this without string because the puks pop so close together, but it did get a LOT safer for MNK or NIN with Nursemaids + a ton of string gear (resists aren't BAD but do happen sometimes. Also when the shadow puks pop they do so with Blink on so single target lullaby doesn't do anything but get agro.) I've trioed without breaking a sweat as MNK BRD RDM and when our RDM went down at the start cuz i missed a lullaby me and the MNK easily duoed it.
I bet you could do this as RDM/BLM maybe if you were REALLY fast casting Thundaga off. They take like triple damage so I heard one Thundaga usually drops them. I don't know how you would deal with dmg from the normal puk but sleep nuking it might work. Same may go for BLM/RDM or BLM/PLD. I do believe it still uses mantle every 45 seconds while asleep though.
