I was a little shocked by the huge amount of VE generated by damage. It certainly supports the argument for more DD oriented PLDs and NINs for tanking later in the game. All my Lv60+ PLD tanking experiences were prior to sushi and fighting VT enemies, and things have certainly changed to make the tank's damage dealt a huge factor in maintaining hate today.
Another player has already produced rough numbers for cures cast on a Lv75 character:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Enmity_Numbers. They show a 200 HP Cure III to produce about 145 CE and 880 VE when cast on a Lv75 character, which makes cures far less efficient than Flash, Blind, Bind, Poison, and Barelements.
Armando, how hard was it for you to spam Blind as a PLD/RDM? Have you considered giving this combination a try again? I just see Berserk and Defender going to waist these days, and I would think Phalanx and Stoneskin are so much more useful.
PLD/WAR
Flash (180 CE & 1280 VE, 25 MP, 0.5 sec), Provoke (1800 VE, 0 MP, 0.5 sec)
180 CE and 3080 VE = 3260 TE in 1 sec for 25 MP (Double Attack will increase enmity, but not very helpful with Joyuese)
PLD/RDM Option # 1
Flash (180 CE & 1280 VE, 25 MP, 0.5 sec), Blind (640 VE, 5 MP, 2 sec), Bind (640 VE, 8 MP, 2 sec), Barelement (300 VE, 6 MP, 0.5 sec) x 2
180 CE and 3160 VE = 3340 TE in 5.5 sec for 50 MP (closer to 5 sec of casting time due to Fast Cast)
PLD/RDM Option # 2
Flash (180 CE & 1280 VE, 25 MP, 0.5 sec), Blind (640 VE, 5 MP, 2 sec) x 3
180 CE and 3200 VE = 3380 TE in 6.5 sec for 40 MP (closer to 5.9 sec of casting time due to Fast Cast)

680 CE and 2480 VE = 3160 TE in 10.5 sec for 25 MP (large loss of time for combat without any benefit over /WAR)
