Plus, SCH doesn't generate a crap ton of enmity.

Anyway, with your setup, there are to many dps classes/jobs. Also, there really isn't a need for a support role, as there isn't really a support class/job. Bard comes the closest, but it usually boils down to Foe's Requiem if you have a BLM/SMN in the party, or Mage's Ballad if you have an overhealing WHM. I'm hoping in the future, the devs try to fit in a true support role somewhere that would greatly benefit the party. It's just that in the current state of the game, it isn't that big of a deal, and it won't be until at least the first expansion.
You assume that when every you use physic you can use embrace, which is not true. The cooldown for embrace is longer than physic (and is also not able to be decreased) and unless your pet is on guard, you also can't control every embrace (the pet could be using embrace on another target when you want to use it on your target, so you have to wait until the pet is off cooldown). Lustrate is also not greater than everything. A tank will low HP will restore less hp with a lustrate than a cure II for example (on a geared healer).
