RDM has instant cast Raises and Cures and can cast while moving most of the time between GCDs, so they can't and won't put it on par with BLM, which is an immobile turret style glass cannon, and SMN gets most of its DPS from instant cast and DoT spells.
Trouble is, the devs have outright stated that its their intention to keep Red Mage somewhat weak due to its multi rez, so the only way to buff it is to nerf or remove Rez. I don't get why people put so much value on the rez outside of prog or lower tier content, since the penalties for dying and being rezzed outweigh the benefits of rezzing.
