A lot of us go RDM for progress. Lesser maximum numbers, but the difference between your "shit-I-don't-know-this-fight" rotation and your max rotation isn't so big so you manage good DPS from the start.
To be honest, I'm sure a lot of casters go RDM for progress, depending on how difficult they find BLM and party factors. SMN may be the top DPS of the three, but BLM's peak is far more achievable.
