    Personally I'd say heavily reduce its frequency for RDM without making a role version (like giving it a CD/limited charges), or as Shurri suggested (which I've also said before), make its DPS penalty per-use rather than a constant tax.
    I can see SMN losing Resurrect, but I can't imagine any world where BLM gets access to a Raise even as a role action. Not to mention that that would mean giving a Raise to any future casters.
    The thing with raise is that just having it will incur a tax. It doesn't matter if you get penalized for using it. Just being able to raise is the issue, having it in your back pocket. Being able to raise a dead healer, when a BLM cannot is what causes BLM to get that boosted rebate DPS. "You don't have a raise of any form so here take extra damage for your troubles." Trading Recovery Utility for Damage is a terrible bartering system, but its the system we're bound to at the moment.

    I've though about what Kabooa has said before too, I think it might be too on the nail cheesy though. An OGCD that gives a healer back 1/4 of their MP, and makes their next raise instantcast. Put it on a 1 minute cool down and its pretty similar to SMN in raise potential, with each having their own weakness. A little convoluted but gives BLM an option for recovery support. Most BLMs wouldn't want that though Id wager.
