A nuke or two, Stun, Blind, and Dispel all will keep the mob beating on you over most other people you'll probably run into doing Campaign.
Don't forget that one earring (forgot the name of it for BLM, WHM and SMN have one too). Not to mention P.Ring for Campaign -10% <3

Debuffing is a nice way to get XP too even if it resists it still counts (from what I read on wiki and noticed myself). Saw some BLM and SCH meleeing and throwing out a nuke every so often and debuffing. Doing this on PUP/DNC with WHM Frame had her debuff constantly even on impossible to debuff things (aka Silence on Adamant etc) while meleeing gave fantastic XP.
