Can we talk about how mnk, drg, and blm are blatantly overpowered right now?

BLM was considered bad in 4.0-4.3 because it brought less damage than Summoner. Caster res had nothing to do with it other than adding salt in the wound. When it got buffed and became meta, it was considered good by the broader public. No asterisks about caster raise at all; nobody cared.

It was considered 'acceptable ' by a broader public. And still a stigma in prog.

Except, historically, SMN hasn't been balanced around Raise, unless its cost for having Raise still left them with more rDPS than BLM except at the tail end of each expansion/iteration.

Likewise, late-SB RDM rDPS in its optimal compositions was neck-and-neck with BLM -- again, despite having Verraise.

It should have been. The fact it previously wasn't doesn't mean it was right.
