I've killed Chary 20-30 times, but that was always NIN or THF + BRD and some form of healer. So I don't really know much about the tanking aspect of it, instead I know more about the general fight, what sort of WS spam to expect, what sort of debuffs generally help.
To be honest, I'm looking forward to being able to die 20 times to Chary trying to solo it while I get the hang of it.
I like to think I'm pretty good as NIN, the only thing that would make it easier for me is some slightly better gear. I'm only missing 1 "major" piece imo, which would take me to 20% haste, the most I'll prolly get any time soon XD
As for SJ, I'd always /DNC, unless I'm with a RDM or WHM, and maybe a BRD. Though depending on mob, I'd still prefer /DNC (like Bune, Ungur or Guivre.. >.> Healing Waltz to get rid of Silence ftw!)
Well since you already got /dnc try to tank a few things that are good practice. Not sure if you have sea or not, but the sharks just outside of the den are pretty good to fight with. Also Aquarius if you can find him up, is a greatly fun fight solo nin ^.^ Then lastly the monster I had most fun soloing was the bunny for the axe WSNM in the temple of U. Try to find someone that needs, definitely lots of fun to be had trying to kill that bunny.
Speaking of bunnies... The conney in U.Range is evil just for fun you could try to mess with the white/black one :-P dunno if its even possible to solo the white one with any job really, that guys a putz.
