Honestly I feel like RDM is in a fine place atm, it's more the perception of it that is flawed. Looking at the statistics from FFlogs, it is currently one of the lowest DPS class in the game, however its still competitive with other DPS. From my perspective it is less RDM is very weak and more BLM/MNK/DRG are exceptionally strong. On average it seems within about 200 rDPS then other classes which is trivial in most cases. On top of that in 95% of content RDM utility DOES have value, for example my current static just completed a E3s with 5 deaths (3 DPS) largely due to the RDM being able to raise so the healers didn't bottom out their manna. Because of the RDM we now have a second clear and a few of us have a very embarrassing parse.

Like I said I feel like at the end of the day this seems more like a PF being dumb issue and less a RDM being bad thing. People just hear "RDM is bad and does low DPS" and they don't understand why, where, or to what the extent. Its one of those cases of unless you are going for the world record speed clear RDM in its current state is fine. You can clear anything with just about any valid comp atm, if you are hitting enrage you have bigger problems then your class make up.
