Casters have it rough, unfortunately. If the feathers move past a certain arc, the spell will fail to cast. If they move behind a rock out of visual range, you'll fail to cast. So the casters would have to move into line-of-sight, and be unable to cast while doing so. So it's a bit of a slog. It doesn't help that summoner's don't have very good instant AoE damage, either, and if it's the Summoner's first time, they won't have Garuda to help.
It would have to be up to the BLM to anticipate the feathers spawning around Garuda (she usually does it shortly after her teleport-blast move) with some well-timed AoE so it hits them all from the start, that would probably help a ton. I imagine the phase where the feathers spawn at the edges of the battlefield would be tough with two casters, though.

You hit it on the nail. My main is BLM and for this reason I'm leveling LNC.
You'll be doing the same in Garuda Ex as well. Best to learn now while the margin for error is large.
Sit in the middle and wait for the plumes to go to their targets or just spam blizzard 2 in the middle and hit a few while you wait. Transpose and aim fire 2 well. Swiftcast a fire 2 onto plumes that are clumped up but were not your initial target. Scathe any remaining ones that are below <30% HP.
You can also rotate your position while casting to keep track of moving targets so that your cast isn't interrupted. Or, like mentioned above, use a macro that constantly follows your target while you cast.
As for FF14 App...we'll just see what SE does. This might have been the result of an overzealous GM or a GM using the excuse of mentioning App to infract the player who had done something else. I believe, on the official forums, the story goes something like this:
-Player A using App runs a parse in a random dungeon
-Player A using App insults Player B for doing poor DPS (mentioning some numbers)
-Player B reports Player A for mentioning App (when he really wanted to just infract him for harassment)
-GM looks over logs but can't infract Player A because he wasn't really harassing anyone
-GM looks in the logs to see if Player A had recommended App to another player
-GM uses this as a basis to infract player A
And then the events in the screenshot transpire.
Preludes: I don't think ZAM is trying to get their users banned as the above indicates. Maybe pick another hyperbole and go with that next time. How petty can you be?
*looks at post history*
Oh...
