I believe you're referring to "Aerial Armor"^^
I've noticed that when I get a PT in the Jungle on my SMN (30) I'm usually the healer.
If I'm not, I don't even ***** with Aerial Armor if we're fighting Mandys, because their double attacks just eat through it. Gobbies on the other hand they're good for, if someone accidentally pulls hate the tank has a few seconds to pull it back.
Other than that, people haven't seen many SMN's who will Magic Burst with them, I remember I was getting good bursts for around 12-160.
Then one time, we pulled aggro from a smithy, everyone 2 hours including me. This party was awsome, we would Renkei and I would burst on them all the time. I pull out Shiva and have her do Diamond dust. Right before she casts, I notice the wonderful Melee's just Renkei'd, and my Diamond Dust hit the gobbie for a burst of something like 700 damage! Sadly I also hit 2 mandys nearby and had to zone them, but that was the coolest thing ever :)
I guess the moral of that story is, learn to burst with your avatars, you'll be almost as good as a BLM when it comes to Renkei's, and your debuffing and back up cures will help out your WHM if you have one:)
