I'm not sure if Beastmaster should have native Dual-Wield or not, but:

This is really close to how it actually breaks down. There are support jobs that provide some mixture of cures, buffs, and/or a particularly awesome or frequent Stuns somehow, and there are jobs that hit things with things. For the majority of group content, that's it. Even Black Mage and Paladin are very niche jobs.

Beastmaster can't whip a rabbit or slug until it uses Curaga IV or Chaos Roll, so that puts Beastmaster in the category of "this guy hits things with things and this pet hits things with its head" whenever a Beastmaster joins a group that isn't made entirely out of Beastmasters and Summoners.
