I get what you are going for though, but perhaps a "does X% less magic damage" debuff would work better as it would stack with DK and affect everyone.
I think the increases damage taken debuff is something that makes WAR and NIN unique, and we shouldn't encroach on it. The reason I stand behind the magic damage % down, is because our lack of party utility will be made up for with DPS while off-tanking, and while main tanking, it becomes a very powerful debuff for the tank. If it benefits the entire party, I think it runs the risk of become too powerful.

We definitely need something though, because as of now I only use it when there's no MNK or when the MNK can't be on boss during the orbs phase on Ravana EX.
