The problem in 6.05 was not "BLM is not putting out enough damage" as much as it was a "melee (particularly MNK and RPR) DPS are doing too much damage". They chose the buffing route instead of the much easier nerfing route. As a result, they buffed BLM more than SMN, leaving them in an ironically worse spot in relative terms and caused RDM to be put in an equally-unfavorable spot.
