If the problem was purely just staying afloat on MP, that's no issue, there are ways to do that: MP pots, cutting back on R2 entirely after opener, selective stopping of Ruin, Energy Drain, etc.

The problem is maintaining competitive DPS compared to the other DPS roles while managing those things, and currently, that's just not happening; the TP users are all taken care of together, and BLM doesn't need help, so those guys can go full blast and do their already higher DPS. Whether or not SMN needs a damage buff or not (I think it does from my experience but that's not important), it simply can't transmit its damage in FCoB as much as everyone else can.
