Personally I like RED as it is :/ Why ?
Because it's an easy DPS to play with, especially when you are not used to DPS. If you want more complex DPS they are others that are waaaaaaaaayyyyyy more complicated.
I think it's a good thing to have and easy DPS, pretty much like WHM is the easier healer to play with, it can help people "discover" their job as DPS / heal etc and, once they want more complexity they can switch to another class
