The funny thing is that that would narrow it down to BST and maybe RDM and BRD. ^^;; I don't know how hard a sell it would be to get RDM covered, since they do have other roles besides whacking away on things. BRD might have a case given how SE seems to be pushing battlebard style recently, but again, a bit iffy since that's never really been intended to be a core part of the job that everyone is expected to do.
NIN/DNC/THF/BLU are the only other 1h melee DD specialists, and they all have access to native DW at this point. BST is genuinely the only oddmanout here, since we are a 1h job that the devteam has decreed should be meleeing alongside their pets, but we have zero support or incentive to do so baked into the job itself.

Sorry OP. ^^;;
