/blm works good against really anyone, sleepga will wipe any shadows and put them to sleep. Follow with a few dispells, then nuke them down.
As far as RDM/BLU tanking... Tanking is really irrelevant these days unless you're talking about solo, then there are jobs that do most solo's as well but faster than RDM. RDM/BLU can get over 900 DEF, Att bonus, Max MP boost traits, a few useful spells. But the problem with RDM/BLU is dmg output. Even with Almace and solid DD gear, you're still going to take more time to kill things and thus end up taking more dmg in the long run regardless of how little you are taking at any given time. RDM tanking died because of the nerfs to emnity on a lot of spells. Holding hate is impossible in the long run regardless of who is "tanking", emnity caps entirely too low, and didn't scale as dmg output did from 75-99.
If you want to have some fun and lowman/solo stuff, RDM /BLU /NIN /DRK is a BLAST, but far from efficient.
