The Shi´ar awakened it before it was fully restored (after being killed by Xorn), so it was really weak. The Phoenix needed Cyclop´s optic blast to gain energy enough to resurrect Jean; afterwards she fed on Jean´s power.
By the way, I have a question: It has been said that Rachel had a little portion of the Phoenix until her fight with Necrom, when she was forced to call the whole Phoenix Force, becoming the true host of the Phoenix Force. Later Galactus convinced her to renounce most of her power, returning to her old power level, until she got lost in time rescuing Brian Braddock and become Mother Askani.
At some point Jean Grey got a bit of the Phoenix Force (it was after her trip to the future where she raised Cable) until Xorneto killed her, and the Phoenix Force dissapeared until Endsong.
But I know there were some stories of the Phoenix taking host during the period between Rachel and Jean; does anybody know which comics where those?.
