Is there any reason to play BLM over RDM now days?

Yeah sure, let's give everyone the rez safety, you'll enjoy being the safety buffer as BLM I guarantee it. You want to use Fire IV? Nope too bad, get to rezzing. What about Foul? Doesn't matter get to rezzing. If you like BLM don't ask for that rez safety and don't ask for nerfs to RDMs, you benefit from it just as much as anyone else. Your argument is boiling down to "If nobody else can have it they shouldn't get it either."

Nowhere did I say BLM should have rez. At all. FFS, I didn't even have an argument. I only took issue with you denying that Verraise is better than the healers. Lightspeed is the only comparable method to come close to RDM in that sense.
Since you bring it up though, RDM is objectively the least impacted by having to throw out a rez, assuming you're not stopping mid-melee to do so. It's a well-designed job. Possibly far better designed than the other two, one of which needs a massive overhaul, and one which needs a couple small tweaks. Hence, your example is ridiculous.
