Consider using Ark with power boost. This would deal about 5000-6000 damage and takes about a minute for the summon. Conversely, using "Shock" with Steiner, "Dragon's Crest" with Freya, both deal 9,999 without 5 second cast time. I don't see the appeal of them.

The only thing I would use it for it perhaps Summons like Carbuncle. Adding Haste/Reflect to the party would be useful.
This.

If anything, I use them as a stepping stone before getting the actually good attacks. In FFX, i used them as meat shields.
