the rdm's gear setup was
main hand: terra's staff
head: warlock's chapeau (they have duelist's)
body: duelist's tabard (they also have dalm)
hands/legs/feet: crimson (although i saw another rdm wearing the darksteel +1 legs)
waist: warwolf belt
back: umbra cape
rings: defending and jelly or BQ, can't remember which
i can't remember earrings
the strategy of it was to spam sleep, sleep2, dispel & provoke for hate, keep defender & phalanx on, and cure themself. i saw them do this on fafnir with about 10 people. the pld didn't have an overbearing amount of enmity gear, however, so that's probably why the rdm was so easily able to keep hate.
edit: i've been developing a rdm/war setup over time to eventually be able to tank things such as that >.> the difference in my setup is that i'm going to be macroing a ton of enmity gear.
