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.

well at higher rdm is a good tank they have stone skin and another one but if you want a tank at lower lvls pld/war
DRK/RDM : well with drk you shouldent be taking the hate.
I tank alot and I hate it when a dmg dealer pulls off all there fancy moves at the start trying to do as much dmg as they can(mainly blms) just to show off or out of stupidity. Then bitch because they take all the hate and die. This can also be said from over curing whms. the bastards.
but it would be a good combo just dont try and over do it. thers probbly a better combo and im sure ominub will add his two cents and clear it all up. he a genuis when it comes to these matters.
Id say pick a lopsided jobs for the higher lvls like a pure dmg dealer or a high defence char for tanking. Im sure your PT will be well balanced enough with you not having to pick up the slack.
IMO
