Start off by using the Evened Odds Paradigm, then swtich up to Delta Attack, perferably with Fang being the Sentinel. When Cid goes into the Defense mode, go all out and use Relentless assault with the goal of getting that chain guage to max out. If he starts using metamorphose, get ready to switch to Solidarity to heal. The key is to be ready to switch to Solidarity and Delta Attack whenever he not using his guard, then use Evened Odds/Relentless assault when he is guarding.
Best Wishes!

He gave me trouble too. I had to grind a little bit before I figured him out, though I'm sure I didn't use anything near an optimal strategy lol.
If I recall correctly, I was using Fang, Vanille and Sazh with heavy emphasis on defense. Fang ended up tanking pretty much the entire fight unless he went into healing mode when I used the break in attacks to go all out with Relentless Assault. I also had her on Saboteur duty whenever I had the chance, slow is very very helpful in this fight. Well, any debuff you can get to stick is helpful, heh, but slow was the big one for me.
Sab/Med/Syn was how I started to get Haste and whatever debuffs I could land right off the bat. Then I used Sen/Rav/Com or Sen/Med/Com, depending on how much damage Fang was taking. When he started healing himself it was all out Com/Rav/Rav. When he got really irritating for the second part of the fight Fang was pretty much permanent Sentinel until he used his guard, I used that small break to top off healing, recast buffs and debuff him again, making sure I got slow on if nothing else.
The key I found is really to make sure you have someone there to tank. Cid will annihilate anyone else, especially Hope. I tried several different combinations before I settled on the one that saw me to victory. Keeping slow on him also helps immensely, especially if you've got Haste on everyone.
