BLM subs that are good and when:
/SCH~ Campaign or when you have a SMN friend around (INT boost is nice as are the JA's but you're going to die, esp Taru. All that extra damage, out casting others, and MP to cast when others rest all equal one thing: Hate on you. BLM/SCH is not a good tank, leave it in Campaign.
/NIN~ For solo ONLY. I just want to D2 every BLM/NIN I see at HNM camps or in Dyna etc etc... If you want to /NIN your BLM, go fight pets solo, gtfo of parties.
/RDM~ More solo goodness for fights that last longer than one or two nukes. Though I'd keep a RR item handy. If you are in groups, or doing event type stuff, start your casts before stated times so you don't screw ***up. If your leader is worth a damn they have already mentioned that BLM should come /whm and so you're already not in good standing.
/WHM ahhh good ol' bread and butter. BLM/WHM FTW. Sure you dont have max INT with this sub, go merit your INT (and eat a cream puff), yeah the skills for enf. arent that high, go merit your enf(and make gear macors for enf). Yah you cast slow, go get the L.earing and tell your RDM or WHM to haste you.
As /WHM you have tele spells, you have R, and RR, you have aga cures, and you can remove aliments. Not to mention you can aga buff. To top that all off, you've got the ability to bring the hole party from red the white HP a la Divine Seal. Oh, and did I mention you have more MP as well? You lose Dispel and Gavity, and really, Bind and Sleeeps should be enough for you.
Think bigger than yourself. Someone is always going to do more damage than you. What matters in a group, is the group. BLM/RDM is a selfish set up, and BLM/SCH is for show offs. BLM/NIN at events n such as I mentioned above is just idiotic.
As for the Ele debuff DoT's... Use them! Burn Choke Shock mage mobs, or Frost Rasp Drown for melee heavy parties. I used them from the time I got them. -Stats might as well be like +stats to your party... not to mention its better to open with them than your strongest nuke. >.>;
