Sounds like unnecessary complication. They could take it back to old school (well, at least FF5).
Can use lower level Magic skills as to not impede on healers and magic dps.
But power comes from quick casting (which can be proc based via melee attacks) and double casting (which can be consumable buff based like aether). So it may not be uber burst, but has fast steady magic + melee dps.

Another option would be that it could take the Mystic Knight role. Enchanting its weaponry with elements that yield different effects per strike.

I like the idea of the RDM using melee skills to lower cast time on spells to the point where they could be instant cast. The option to make them a class that solely enchants for status effects is fantastic but I'd still rather that go the the Mystic Knight.
