Having Verraise(and by extension Vercure) is objectively the theme of the job, or more accurately, it is included in the broad umbrella that is its primary theme.
I don't see any issues with getting Arise at level 66 or somewhere around there (and preferably with a 1 minute recast for balancing reasons), it'll prevent the stupid deaths that come from someone using an action immediately after being revived but before being healed up a bit and so dying to a raidwide.
