White magic? Paladin has it
Self buffs? Paladin (stoneskin, etc)

The only thing they don't have is "black magic" but I still feel like it would be much more suited as a dps.
I could give you a full write-up for the job detailing how unique from PLD, DRK, and WAR it could be as a tank...

...but I feel like my desire to keep RDM a Hybrid DPS would leak through no matter how hard I tried to restrain it.
