Honestly it doesn't matter how you deal with the last 4 points in Ice/FT. The main reason for the build is because Gaviota becomes useless after just a few levels in 4th job (yay look at me 7k damage on one monster every spawn! This is like 1/5 of what my level 1 Wrath of the Octo does).
I'd max Octo before going into FT. FT isn't really that useful unless you're going to Hime or something (haven't tried it with the increased range, but should be pretty nice now that you can hit them without getting hit back). It's more of a hunting/back up mob skill in most situations, rather than something you'd spam to train. Max Octo is great for Newties, saves you a shot or two per spawn.
