I would have been more willing to have a constructive argument if your whole post didn't try to downplay all of SMN's advantage while upplaying that stupid "Red Mage has infinite rez" bullshit. Right now it just reeks of "my SMN should have more DPS than RDM!11!!".

Ok, here's the more constructive version:
- RDM can rez more
- RDM doesn't lose DPS just from keeping open the possibility of a rez
- RDM has vercure, actual on-demand healing that can be used to recover at critical junctures
- RDM has excellent mobility (similar to SMN)
- RDM has a good raid buff (similar to SMN)

Thus:
SMN should not pay a higher tax than RDM for its utility.
