That's pretty much the only way to hit those kinds of numbers on Sanguine, yeah. It completely trashes your TP phase damage though, so you end up doing a lot less than using a real setup and Vorpal Blade. Of course, RDM has to sub not-NIN-or-DNC to use Vorpal Blade, so you're looking at neither an offhand hit nor stat buff from an offhand Magian. That's not to mention the egregious loss of TP-phase damage (again) when single-wielding. WS damage isn't everything.

Rdm/Nin with an Almace can be decent (though averaging 4k is still bullcrap unless fodder+temps), but RDM melee without Almace is just kinda sad. Again, this is in Abyssea too, where Damage is pretty useless. If people cared about Damage, Dragoon would be king of Abyssea.
