This is on par with the Scholar equivalent to divine seal, with only divine seal itself being more powerful. 20% is not tiny at all.

The real issue which you seem to have picked up on even if you don't directly say it... It's not the utility people want. People don't want mitigation and healing buffs, they want DPS buffs because, well, maximizing DPS in every little way possible is the meta. (And with enrages it's no wonder).

If you want MNKs to be sought after like that, it needs to increase the raid's DPS, yes. But if it can be top DPS and also gets nin or drg-like raid buffs, then one of those 2 jobs will lose its meta spot... not an easy thing to balance. If it's even possible. On the flipside, most raiders I know would definitely take a MNK as long as they know the player is good... It might not be their picture perfect setup, but it's passable.
