If you think SE will ever give us un-dispel-able enhancing magic, you either have been drinking too much SE coolaid or haven't been playing long enough.

I'm actually not surprised at all that SE gives RDM ENHANCING 2hr. It fits right into their current mindset regarding RDM, which is basically, it's a job that has near-zero usefulness/uniqueness and no one with their right mind should ever play it. {Before ppl jumps all over me, I do have RDM and had to dealt with doing 5x BLM refresh in dynamis back in the old days. I've also done my share of RDM solo'ing back then. I no longer play RDM anymore because there are so many other job alternative that I can use. Only time I have used my RDM in the last year was when I can't find a RDM for our VW - which we no longer need anymore with the change.}

As bad as RDM has gotten though, they're not alone. Look at BST and SMNs (PUP was taken out from their corner with their pet's AI fix a while ago). SMN still only have their level 72 BPs or their merited level 75 elemental BP. While BST has the jobs most unique abilities taken away from them (from anywhere that is of REAL value. Yes, you can still charm but there's nothing that is worth doing now a day that you have anything that you CAN charm).

So yeah I feel bad for RDM but it's not like RDM is the only job that SE is completely clueless about it.

Hopefully with the new director in place now, things will change. One can only hope.
