The Magnificent Red Mage (speculations)

In FFXIV many people are still very narrow minded thinking that RDM will be primarily a magic class. As we all know, weapons of choice in FFXIV determines your job. And can we all guess what is RDM's weapon of choice?? If you said SWORD & SHIELD you were spot on!! Having that said I believe RDM can be branched from the Gladiators (GLD).
Gladiators abilities are all made for a tank class and thats exactly what I think RDM should be. What could make RDM a great tank is its magical prowess!! I RDM learns a variety of buffs spell including the magnificent Phalanx!! A spell that raises defense sharply. So if we add the sword moves from the GLD ability set and 5 more moves (mainly magicks) as Job specific abilities for RDM we have an very good operating mage tank and RDM can still keep its title of "Jack of all trades"

As for those 5 job specific abilities; I have also been thinking about it and I believe this should be the 5 abilities when you become RDM:

lvl 30---> Cure II or some potent healing magic (since GLD/CNJ = PLD the only there option is GLD/THM which means no healing magic for it)

lvl 35---> Lightning II or some powerful attacking magic

lvl 40---> ??? ability - this ability exchanges or turns all strength or some attribute (primarily from tanks gear) into INT/MND and the more the RDM uses magic the more enmity the RDM will receive (this ability is the key for RDM tanking to keep all the enmity as a mage tank)

lvl 45---> En"element" - this will raises RDM attack for more damage (of course it will work much better with lvl 40 ability off)

lvl 50--->. Phalanx - the supreme defensive magic (raises RDM defense for more survivability)

this is it for RDM in FFXIV what do you guys think??

please be gentle when you comment but I am eager to see what you guys think
