"RDM has slightly lower DPS than X Job because it has the ability to clutch heal/mitigate damage/what-have-you".

Rend Mind. Dismantle. Dragon Kick. Virus. E4E. One thing that these all have in common is the fact that they all mitigate damage. 2 of these are available to healers as well, however, it still remains that MCH, with Dis/RM and a clutch Virus or lucky E4E proc can come from jobs that aren't involved with tanking/healing. This argument is not only moot, it's completely dead in the water out the starting gate. There's dps jobs with mitigation skills, and their dps hardly suffers for it.
