That's a problem in the long run and having a consistent play style would greatly improve the experience and make RPR less redundant.
RPR isn't mediocre, though. Its DPS is quite good for a tank, and it is *by far* the most durable melee. Giving your team a cure 3 every 20 sec is huge in teamfights. Death Warrant can result in large burst amounts when stacked properly and their LB is probably one of the top 3 in the entire game.

The class isn't playing against itself. It works very, very well. It's possible that you have more work to do on your knowledge of the class and how it fits into various scenarios, but that's not something SE can fix with a patch. All of your suggested changes would do nothing but make the class overpowered and turn it into the next BLM. The class is fine and quite strong - I think you just need more practice with it, and maybe less trying to force it to be a MNK or DRG and more playing it as it's designed to be.
