As a RDM main, verraise is a cancer. I agree, if RDM could be more like the Bard or Ninja of the casters, having low DPS in exchange for high utility, I wouldn't mind at all.

BLM and RDM do need to be raised to SMN's level though I would say; nerfing SMN just puts double ranged back in and tbh double ranged is an annoying meta too. How they would do that for BLM is raising damage even more, so its personal damage is markedly superior to SMN's. For RDM...there are lots of ideas rolling around, but delete verraise*, remove Embolden's weird restrictions, perhaps modify mana generation so its bursts line up with the minute-to-minute trick windows, perhaps a mantra-like ability to help outgoing healing are some buffs I've heard that sound good on the face.

*put it on a minute long CD or something.
