How Would You Design Red Mage!?

[Volsung]

After thinking about it: 5 abilities is all we get so how do we design something? Well here is something with very little thought that maybe someone else could build off of. If it is based on gladiator it could have blm and whm subs. I'm hoping they will add swords more geared to magic stats. or hell make an all new rapier class.

1 a self healing ability that adds an effect for you to gain mp by slashing at the enemy, long duration maybe
2 spell combo off of flat blade that does light damage: additional effect AoE refresh
3 WS combo off of savage blade: additional effect enemy def down (maybe adds DoT?)
4 WS combo off of flat blade: additional effect AoE haste (small percent)
5 Chainspell your next 3 WS or spells have no recast

maybe AF could enhance the haste or refresh or enemy def down
