BLU/WAR is a decent tank to maybe mid Lv.30's, my experience. Can still tank after that, but it's a bit of stretch. As damage dealer, though, it's not the greatest since it doesn't add anything to BLU's spell damage beyond 10% better TP gain rate with Double Attack.
BLU/THF is widely acknowledged as the best damage dealing combination for BLU in regular exp parties (probably not merit parties, though). BLU/NIN is terrific in parties without strong enmity control, though above Lv.60, can always use /THF for Trick Attack to help with that issue.
COR/WAR is not that great at most levels, I think; /RNG should be more beneficial for the most to help out the B Marksmanship skill.
RNG/WAR has more going for it, but easy to become an MP sponge in the hands of overzealous players. It's also heavily dependent on a good tank to be able to utilize /WAR's Berserk to full advantage.
