There are 4 ranged dps jobs... 2 each of physical and magical dps. RDM seems to be both of those things but since their physical damage comes from melee strikes (or seems to anyway), I'd probably lump them in with BLM and SMN as a caster dps specifically.

I tend to agree with this. I mean ninja shares right side gear with brd/mch, so it makes sense to have rdm share with blm/smn, at least right side wise. I kind of feel rdm may have its own gear though, similar to ninja and how it's similar but separate from brd/mch.
