Personally, I'm glad they made RDM a "simple caster". For the longest time, I avoided magical DPS because I hate having to upkeep. It's one of the reasons I mained WHM since it is focused on pure healing and only upkeep you do is really just regen.

Blackmage and summoner has so much micromanage, it just gets frustrating to me. Sure, I can get "into it", but there are some people like me that wants to play a class that's easy to get into and not worry about stacks or positioning. People can say, "No complexity, no reward" and sneer down at people like me as "lazy" for not wanting to learn a more complex class.

For me, I rather keep it simple. I cast this and I get the results like old style RPG magic casting and I was disappointed there was no magical DPS that felt closer to older RPG games. Then came RDM. Cast - > insta results, no need to worry about DoTs or positional... I fell in love with it. Sure it is the lowest DPS, sure the insta raise will lose out when things gets "competitive" and people die less to get faster clear times, but I am quite happy with the simplicity.

Sometimes it's good to have a class with such simple mechanics for people like me and award those who want to play harder mechanics with better rewards (i.e. higher DPS), but I disliked it when all of them were such micromanagy.
