If you need to rezz several people in a row, you will fail the boss anyway due to lack of people for mechanics or the dps check. It's pretty telling that the so called "progression" job is less popular during progression (if we look at fflogs) than the other casters. Once savage is on farm, rdm will be completely excluded again. New addon, same story. They realised this in stormblood, so they bumped rdm's dps to be in the middle of the damagers in stormblood. Currently we are 3rd last in pdps and 2nd last in rdps. With BLm being king in both, there is zero reason to ever take a rdm instead. (with blm having so many movement tools, this isn't even a significant argument for movement heavy fights anymore)
If Savage content is the only stick you are using to measure RDM's against you are probably right. But there is more then enough content in the game for other challenges where the class comes in handy. Take for example Eureka, which only was bearable because there were so many RDM's in the zone (I know they added logos actions for Raising later but they were rarely used due to restrictions of the logos system).

I think the class is in a perfect spot right now.
