Woh Gates would be superb to burn up job points but solo with trust, accuracy and survivability would be a major issue against lvl 128 mobs, whereas if people could bring their optimal jobs, I'd think something like 3 DD, whm, brd, cor for example and then spend hard earned points on whichever job they'd like, people might actively party up to farm up job points.

While I don't have the jobs leveled, I'd imagine jobs like PUP, SMN, BST and RDM struggle for job points for now, as do several other jobs I suspect.
CP parties are a rarity, you just have to find people that would like to get involved. On Bahamut, they're far from common, however a couple specific people have taken it upon themselves to begin making these parties, and the reception has been overall fairly good. Exp is very fast, CPs aren't bad, and if you plan on crafting, you've got water crystals for days. :P

One thing to mention about it as far as "optimal setup" is it's just not needed, if anything, it's a hinderance. We once tried a buffed setup, 2x Mnk 1x Sam Brd Cor Whm, and everything just died entirely too quick. We were camped at the crabs/pugils/efts area in Dho Gates, and we'd frequently kill our own chain due to repops not being fast enough.

Since then, we've simply began going as 6x whatever. We did 2x Rng Mnk Geo Smn Rdm one day, did just fine. Whm 2x War 2x Blu Brd another, did fine. Blm Sch Geo Brd 2x Mnk, just fine. I'd really suggest giving it a try sometime, the healing needed is very light unless you aggro/link a lot of things for whatever reason, the accuracy isn't that bad at all, could cap with just gear if you really wanted or just eat sushi. The CPs are a bit slower than Woh Gates with a buffed party, but the exp is still really good.

As for the rest of the JP changes, idc, good luck. :P Just chiming in about the CP parties being rare, cause its something that anyone interested in JPs really shouldn't miss out on by stressing over an optimal group.
