RDM/WAR, DRK/RDM, and RDM/NIN
I wonder, how well of a tank would a RDM/WAR be? Spells to generate hate, pulling... many nifty melee tricks from WAR like defender and berserk (though berserk isn't much of a tank thing to do) and countless melee spells.
Here's what I imagine would be excellent if possible:
ProtectII - Defender - Aquaveil - Stoneskin - Blink - Provoke - Ice Spikes (or whatever other good element).
And if necessary, you could be debuffer guy while doing zero damage, but keeping the hate.
But, you could also play a good part with damage if you aren't the tank:
Black Magic - Enthunder (or another good element) - Berserk
DRK/RDM - DRK already has some MP, which doesn't make it too painful. The versatility is upgraded with the improved INT and the addition of Drain. Still, there's Stoneskin and Blink for when you pull hate, and Enfire type spells to do excess damage.
RDM/NIN - The swiss army knife. Not much to explain... just a lot of stuff that it can do. RDM spells and Ninjitsu. I think this would be the least useful of the three though.
