I don't enjoy that I run around at 20-35% double attack and I don't get additional applications of Enspell 2s on my double attack procs. It just needs more damage all around to be acceptable. It's one of my chief gripes against why RDM is going so poorly.

Phallanx is awesome. I run around in close to 50% PDT all the time.

As far as Hands go, Alucinor' Mitts are the best you can get. For feet, Eurus' Ledelsens, Legs Calmecac Trousers.

The part that I hate is the chest piece. Your options for Haste are Goliard's, Nashira's, or Blood/Crimson Scale Mail that is Augmented to HQ3. None are particularly easy to get. You certainly can't pick up a pink chest piece or a Loki's like most jobs, but I'm in love with Blood Scale Mail. I always have been. If you can't get anything with Haste on it, I would go with Antares Harness.
I use Enspell II's when /DRK, their ~ok~ that way but still sorely underwhelming.

You can cap haste or nearly cap haste pretty easily now.

Head: Zelus Tiera: 8%
Hands: Dusk +1: 4% (Alc hands virtually don't exist due to the new Dyna Tav being utterly ridiculous)
Belt: Either speed belt (6%) or the 5% one off the big turtle in abyseea T.canyon.
Legs: Calmeric Trousers: 3%
Feet: Eurus' Ledelsens +4%

Will put you at 24~25 haste without using your body. For body I just use ACP body Atk / Acc. Only alternative I see is using Goliard body and the 10 acc / 12 atk feet, I'll be looking into this but not entirely sure if it's worth the effort.
