If you have a KO, most of the time you better wipe due to not being able to solve the next mechanic or not being able to beat the DPS check.

Or your group is overgeared and DPS check don't matter, which is where res can become handy.
BUt since your group is overgeared, the res is just more breathing room to the healers.
I'm guessing you've never done an ultimate, where progression takes weeks and even a month, instead of the 3 days it takes to prog P3S/P4S P1
a red mage res during, say, ultimate annihition or ultimate predation is the difference between being able to see ultimate suppression now, or in a week.
