Your dd's would have to do massive amounts of damage in that 90 seconds. It's possible, I'm sure, but that crystal has a gazillion hp's, so they'd have to be really on top of things. You might also want to take a rdm/drk in so if the fight wasn't over by the time Alex left, the rdm could CSS and buy the DD's a little more time.
My group also lost zerging twice, but handled it with the ranged method. As a mnk, you'd probably be fine for taking out clones and would never have to touch the crystal in the ranged method, but for the zerging method every DD would have to be there doing every bit of damage they could. Everyone I've talked to has had more luck with the ranged method, but of course that was before the new summons. What could it hurt to try?
