Its all gear within the right side of reason. I wouldnt use all that magic defense gear in a "idle" set tho, unless you have AF2 in wich case you'll cap haste with swiftbelt and loq earing, assuming march and haset-spell. Most magic damage you take has long enough loading time for you to be able to have a magic def macro you can blink in and out off.
I would also suggest trying to maximise enmity in a few slots in order to free up the rest. I'd advocate cerb-mantle (High breath mantle wont allow him to actually use his resentment cape for what its good for, dmg reduction), eris+1, trance belt, storm manopolas if you can get ahold of them and have af2 body. If no Af2 body i would use dusk for hand or feet instead, to get that nice 5 sec recast on blind and dispel.
Generally when i prioritize for rdm tanking i go Fast cast > Damage mitigation > Haste > Enmity > Hp > MP = Magic defense. This is for "idle" gear, what i spend most of my time tanking and casting spells in. It differs a little, i actually only bother to cap haste on utsusemi, on my spells i use enmity in a few haste slots, cause the recast is pretty low as is. And before you wonder why i have mdb so far down is because as i said, you can genereally find time to gearswap for mdb when you see a mob ready a ws or cast a spell.
And yes, i want those shoes.

Thxs for the advice I'll look into getting more haste/enm, Enm doing pretty well using warewolf instead of trace (need but it's hard to find) and do have cerb mantle. have dusk gloves (no feet), swift belt and nash legs.
went zen style.

typically don't change many dats, only ones I've change was my mog house, the errant armor (horrible looking gear), and my moogle to http://www.ffxidats.com/page.php?id=1955
3 years staring at same moogle/walls gets a little boring.
thanks for the link, I might get that, looks nifty.
