I could see barrier magic being part of the moogle skillset. Afterall, they can cast many type of spells, and even use household items to pummel creatures (and players). It sounds like an interesting, pottentially silly job. I approve.

with regard to the weaponless mage, there are many instances of this in folklore. it is my sincerest hope that should SE add such a job they look into more acclectic items, such as magic leaves, enscorcelled stones, and other such items as foci for this job.
Don't play WoW, wouldn't know. The word totem was probably a poor choice though.
As for the main handed item, perhaps an orb or crystal of some sort, maybe even magicite, if we want to go lore on this idea.
