One of these things has got to take a hit, and without a significant class rework, it's going to be damage to bring them more in line with what seems to be their original idea: a versitile damage dealer who can do anything if the situation demands, but is not the master of anything.
Their dmg, without the mana glitch, falls in line with the other casters and rdm would not out dps a BLM usually (of course it depends on fights) like this.
I already said I would not mind if they actually decide to gimp the raise and heal. Do you want RDM to make as much dmg as BRD/MCH who are support?
(also what Vexander said, it does interrupt your dps. You lose dps when raising or healing and it is noticeable)
