Back when Tax'et raged, it would be outright impossible as soon as rage set in. Even now, it's borderline possible. The hardest thing would be holding hate off the massive damage which needs to be done in order to kill it in 20 minutes. Either way, your chances are better with Aegis PLD.
Oh, I should clarify: I mean because his melee attacks will rip RUN up. RUN should (in theory) be able to take a beating from Tax'et's magical attacks (though I think erosion dust does some element besides fire, no?). 40+ MDT times 45 ward bonus is about 67% reduction to fire damage, plus the chance to resist fire damage further with 200 fire resist. Half resist would bring it down to 16.5%, quarter to 8.25%, eigth to 4.125%. But why would you gamble on that when Aegis PLD would laugh off his physical attacks and always take only 12.25% damage from his magical attacks? Even in that situation, RUN is still just the "Well, I can't find a PLD, so let's gamble on RUN... only uses one element of magical damage anyways, so we should be fine, right?" job. Not the "This enemy does craploads of magical damage, so I really hope we can find a RUN." job it was painted to be at first glance.
