It works...It works alright...And gets more effective in the higher levels...And there's normally a BRD in there, actually. BRD goes pull, buffs the BLMs up, sleeps the mob, debuffs it, then the mages all start casting their most damaging spell overall/for that mob...You can pull 10k+ exp per hour with a manaburn.
And I somewhat dislike manaburns for a few reasons...
1) They take BLMs that may be around my level range when my party is looking for one.
2) They might be camping somewhere close to where my party may be camping and can go through the mobs faster then the normal parties sometimes depending on the levels and party setup for the normal parties.
That's about it...But overall, to answer your question again, it works.

Moonlight Agony I dont do the over kill 5 blm set up I go 3 blms tank puller and me the rdm. I works great if the pt know what their doing. ~8k an hour when i was killing robber crabs Manaburn on crabs? Crabs have high resistance... why would anyone ever choose to fight those without Melee? Whatever. BTW, tank? We're talking about all mage. Best would be 4 BLM, 1 BRD, 1 RDM. All the BLM should sub SMN except maybe one for emergancy cures if it is ever needed. 7 MP/tick = very fast. I guess you could fit a NIN tank in there, but could he keep hate without a THF? Doubt it. PLDs and WARs ruin the point of a Manaburn: Killing the enemy before it can do damage to you.

Fury, even melee aren't gonna be as good to a point with crabs but guess it's up to the party where they go to kill what.
Another thing about manaburns...Don't think AMs are used as much the higher you go. It's more about the faster spell casting, spell recasting, and resistance for the manaburns to work...But then again...I might be wrong on some parts @.@

Anyway, you're absolutely correct on the AMs. Also they are totally MP useless... Even in SCs.

I don't dictate the PT unless I'm the leader.

I'd love to join a manaburn PT with my rdm, but I have a hard enough time debuffing mobs with 4 other magic users in my PT. I dunno if I'd be able to handle pulling, debuffing, then casting refresh 6 times. I've noticed that a lot of rdms use refresh when "the mage needs an mp boost", but I get a cycle going at the start of the PT, so that every time refresh wares off of me, I know I have to cast it on the next person as soon as I can cast again. Of coarse I end up putting refresh on people who have full MP, but it keeps me from skipping people, and everyone constantly has it on.
