When balancing RDM's damage against their utility, I'd separate heal and rez from Embolden (physical dps group buff). Embolden falls in line with other job buffs that don't come at the expense of your personal dps. You just hit that button and pew pew. When a RDM uses their heal and rez utility, however, it comes at a dps loss. So I wouldn't nerf RDM's dps just because they can heal and rez. You know if a RDM in your group is needing to use their heal and rez utility that their dps isn't optimal (not only are they skipping a high damage spell but they didn't charge their balance meter either). It's situational utility also versus Embolden which is just an always "Yes I'm going to absolutely use this on every fight" utility.
