The only time when gold box farming is efficient is if you have a large number of characters, and even then you're likely to want to target individual mobs on the side. For instance, I had an empyrean static which included 5 dual-boxers and 2 single-boxers. We also managed to level a lot of alt jobs on the side using this method, and 2 people managed to get a Maat's cap. With just one or two dual-boxers, this would be far less efficient.
Also, if you insist on boxes, instead of Fell Cleave use Cataclysm. With the right Atmas/Gear, you can get Cataclysm to do about 2k or so. In Tahrongi, you're likely to need 2-3 to kill things, vs 1-2 for FC, but you lose the randomness factor and you can't miss with it. Plus, if you happen to be unable to get a camp that doesn't have ruby, this option can be a good alternative.
Of course, another box farm option would be to go on BLU and use Charged Whisker, but seeing as you don't have that job leveled, it'd be more trouble to get your BLU into decent shape than it would be to simply plow your way through using any other option.
