Don't worry too much about enmity merits.
See if you can borrow a pair of Eris' earrings (+1 would even be better), at least on titan they aren't cheap.
Maxed crits are more helpful then you think when it comes to keeping hate do not underestamate that!

Chemical bomb will overwrite Haste and double march btw no matter what.
This really needs a double erase before you can reapply either.
(I know on one of the fights I did to help people Ultima used this on pull and hit the whole party with it, that really sucked!)

Merits that help you keep hate as a NIN: katana/8, crit/4, eva/4, str/5. Enmity is nice, but unless you only care about playing NIN,PLD,THF (maybe war), it's really foolish to get.

The problem with PLD60/nin isn't so much getting hate as what they do with it once they have it. They only have :ichi at 60. I'm also not sure how much enmity a 60 PLD can wear. The way a 75 PLD/nin makes all those hate tools work is by wearing a lot of enmity.

Still all you really care about is to have him bounce hate a little. If he cures you when you take damage, he can hold long enough for you to get blinks back up. And, he could always invincible for the finale.

Thought I'd ressurect this thread yet again as we attempted it today.

Omega & Ultima 4 - Us 1 :D

The party setup: NIN(me), DRK, SAM, BLM, WHM, BRD.

Mammets: Slightly different this time, I ran around in circles until the SAM and DRK each had one and I only had one left, then I turned and faught. AoEs were annoying but it went by smoothly.

Omega: Went well until my macro refused to work and I got hit with enstun, and again right when it wore stopping me from casting, and then I died :x luckily he was almost dead and everyone went nuts to finish him off.

Ultima: Again went well, uber Slow not so much of a problem with WHM ontop of Erase and double March. Hate turned out to be the major problem eventually claiming both WHM, who got up and continued shortly later, and BLM who died righ before our adorable little SAM slapped Ultima with a Tachi: Yukikaze and finished off the SOB :)
