I strongly feel RMD needs more difficulty added to the job through its mechanics.
For how it performs in savage content, it's in a pretty okay spot.

To counter you: It may be harder to optimize BLM, but an optimized BLM destroys an optimized RDM any day of the week in terms of damage. In every fight, BLM is competing with SAM and MNK, while RDM kind of drifts between mid to last. This is a trend that remains to higher percentiles as well, mind; the percentiles where it can be safely assumed four people didn't die to reduce the RDM's damage.

There's no reason to take a RDM once prog is done tbh. Once you're done needing the security blanket that healers should have covered by default anyway, BLM is far and away the better choice for farms and speedkills.
