I know the boycott wouldn't have worked, that's why it wasn't a serious complaint. To honestly expect every rdm on an entire server to refuse every end-game invite that involved main healing would be ludicrous, especially considerring how hard it can be to find a party invite. Lucicrous or not however, the consequence is that if SE follows the use path in development that is the direction the rdm job will go. However, some of the changes (enmity for cures, etc.) was not intended as a rdm nerf but a boost to other jobs. Unfortunately, with you using the same ability-Cure-as whm, sch and the like you get hit with their benefit, which is unfortunately not a benefit to the style you would like to play. Think of the poor paladins, Curing was one of their best hate control methods, and hate control is the heart of tanking; now they are relegated to Flash, shield bash, cover and whatever they can manage from their subjob.

No tweak is ever perfect. Your Enspells need a big boost in effectiveness if they decide you need to be able to melee to take hate. Otherwise, make it more realistic for you to be able to self-SC>MB. Not likely IMO that it will happen, SE doesn't want that many jobs able to self SC.
