as for fencer.. i don't think it would really outweigh DW. i'd be equally happy if SE just stopped trolling rdm's everywhere and changed the damn name..

healing is a tough one.... not only do we not wanna step on whms toes... but you also need to figure in scholar.. should scholar be a better or worse healer than rdm? because that effects where rdm needs to land, since you may need to leave room between rdm and whm for sch.
for rdm anyway..
1) i'd like to see composure changed, so it effects all members. then give regen3/4 to rdm. with composures duration buff, that becomes a LOT of hp recovered for the mp spent.. it doesn't really solve the "holy shit!" problem but it's a step in the right direction. think about it... regen4 fulltimed?

or

2)alternately, i'd like to see the enmity reductions for cure 5 (and maybe 6) removed, then give whm a significantly stronger tranquil heart trait. make it so they break even (may even buff them when you consider cure4) while making room for rdm or sch to cure5 if it's really critical. it needs to be limited somehow.. regardless of how much "better" whm can cure, if rdm/whm could FREELY cast cure5.. that would be "good enough" and we'd likely be right back to toau.

or

3) lets just get way more fast cast? like a crazy amount. to the point where we can fire off 2 cure4's in the time it takes a whm to do 1 cure5. there is an issue here with that being crazy overpowered when you consider stuff like utsusemi or sleep, but it's something to toy with. maybe just lower the recast on cures?
I agree, although we really should get fencer for times when we're not /NIN or /DNC. I often find that I'm /DRK or /SCH in fights, having Fencer as a native JT would be handy.

I'm pretty big on HOT's for RDM, they fit right into our style. People keep seeing Regen as healing magic, it's not. The Regen series is enhancing magic and all rules apply, including the crazy long self casts with composure and the 80~90% bonus duration with Emp Armor on others. SE was cheap as hell for making Regen II as lv 75 spell, it should of been lv 60 wtih Regen's III-IV being given by 90. They then need to create a special RDM only Regen that is incredibly potent and scales with enhancing magic, but only lasts 30s (10 ticks). This would be similar to SCH's helix's only a heal for PT members.

WHM would still have the raw cure power, but RDM could step in and support the WHM's much easier then me sprinkling cure IV's everywhere. I can see giving SCH cure V under Apend White, it would limit them enough that they couldn't access their DA abilities without wasting a charge. Then as a coupe de grace, make accession work with ALL enhancing magic period, end of story. Refresh II -ga, Haste ga, Regen III/IV -ga, Temper -ga, whatever it should work. Even RR-ga would be on the table due to the insane casting / recasting time it would involve.
