why does enochian exist for black mage

[Zerathor]

That's a lot of words just for "keep the numbers balanced and know when to use them." Just because you *can* think about RDM's rotation in minute detail doesn't mean you *have* to.

You don't HAVE to optimize jobs in casual content, but in savage/ult every little gain you get from each optimization adds up to a sizable total at the end of the fight. And that total could be the difference between a clear and a wipe. Not optimizing your job in challenging content makes you a dead weight for your team.

especially seeing as the only buff RDM would be able to contribute to a raid wide DPS burst is Embolden.

Raid buffs stack multiplicatively. Lining up even something as simple as embolden, along with trick attack, battle litany, that nice balance, foe, battlevoice, ect can make embolden's effect a decent amount more valuable to the party than just simply popping it at will. Proper alignment make your utility, as well as the party's utility much stronger. This is why speed comps utilize buff oriented dps jobs.
