Good luck playing a job where you only viable role is in 24-man content .. I assume that's what you mean by 'large group', in 8-man the rigid 2/2/4 format means that taking a DPS role out would require serious re-balancing of every 8-man instance in the game .. and RDM would have no udeful place in 4-man content.

Basically, the horribly limiting 4-man core-group design entirely precludes a dedicated support role with crippled DSP a la FFXI RDM.
