As for Haste, the fact of the matter is simply that it does not scale with Enhancing skill. Even if it did, that would only really cause trouble. As long as White Mage is able to reach the cap, it would be irrelevant. If White Mage became unable to reach the cap, it would simply put more strain on the bard. For example, I roll with a Gjallar/Daurab bard in my party almost every time I do Voidwatch. As long as I hit the magic haste cap, I don't really care where the buffs are coming from (and frankly, no one cares what low-tier groups use because they don't really care about "optimizing jobs" as is)
Red Mage really just needs new spells that it can cast on others. A PDT-20% spell that overwrites an MDT-20% spell and vice versa would be a nice gimmick. Temper, crit rate, maybe an Acc+ spell. Evasion down and Crit evasion down as spells would be nice, but this would require NMs to not be immune to everything.
Inb4 Red Mages freak out about potentially awesome spells because "oh noes cyclez are so tedious". This is what Accession and AF3+2 are for.
