Even if release numbers for RDM truly aren't that competitive with those of BLM, I suppose it's possible that RDM might see some love as a raid progression helper since they can rez and fluff downed healers.

I suspect that BLM will be deliberately positioned to have a higher damage ceiling since RDM inherently has more mobility with constant Dual Cast procs, likely making it more forgiving to play. I suppose it also depends on how challenging SE deems its Black and White mana balancing act to be (emphasis on how difficult SE thinks it is, not necessarily on how difficult it actually is).
