Are they a DD? Hell no! But you're completely wrong if you think SE don't want RDM to melee in some instances with the gear coming out, the weapons and the Weapon Skill adjustments they clearly do.

You're fear of RDM beating BLU is misplaced.
The intention of a RDM meleeing was stated at level 16 with the spell "Enthunder". A self cast only spell that deals thunder elemental damage upon each melee strike. SE wasn't thinking of SCH or SMN or anyone else when they designed Enthunder.

Now for "melee" we have,

Enspells
Gain-spells (both melee and mage buffs)
Temper

SE has pretty much made it clear their intentions, the fact that people continue to put on blinders is a testiment to the authenticity of the Cognitive Dissonance theory.
