Specifically for a speed clear/parse run, sure.

But having a usable rez can at least ensure they're welcome in reclear PFs. And specifically for a parse party, they might swap out that black mage for rdm - even if the kill takes a few seconds longer, the raid buff will make the reaper and monk's (and tanks') personal rankings better. Of course, some high end groups would still chase the fastest kill - but, basically, I think there'd be a place to be slightly behind blm in dps and make up for it with the buff.
