i'm a drg/rdm and everything has worked for me really well so far, but me and my friend Whiplash are doing everything together we are both drg/rdm. But all together i think its a good combo ^^

No.

You don't have enough MP to realistically play backup healer.

You don't have enough MP to nuke, not that it matters since your elemental skill will be capped at half of what a RDM your level would be (mass resists).

Your enfeebles will mostly be resisted, again because your enfeebling skill is capped at half a RDM your level would be.

The only positive thing about this combo would be at 60+, where it could make a reasonable backup healer with Healing Breath. But even then, the pros of Healing Breath are far outweighed by the cons of not having better abilties that come from melee subs.

I love it. My parties ALWAYS love it. At level 60, with the AF, a DRG/RDM's potential healing power is over 3000HP on one tank.

I don't really think so.
