Two things about Blue mage that has me confused about people.
One the spell learning. Literally all they need is to write a simple quest for all abilities and it would work the same as everything else.
Two and the biggest one. SE group finder is very poorly built. Look what happen when they tried to implement more into it. Also ask anyone who PvPs how well it works. With that said, the idea of a hybrid role ability is insane. You would end up dumped into an eternal loop of a que and probably bring others with you.

If they make a Blue Mage a thing and delegate all their blue magic to the normal do job quest get ability then it isn't really functioning as a blue mage. Just another magic class bereft of it's identity.

In order to hybrid classes to be feasible you need some balance or give equal options to all roles. SO I think releasing dual triad jobs first would be wise. Something like...
TANK + DPS
Jobs that could fill this: Red Mage, Blue Mage, Samurai
TANK + HEALER
Jobs that could fill this: Red Mage, Blue Mage, Dancer
DPS + HEALER
Jobs that could fill this: Red Mage, Blue Mage, Dancer
Fill more candidates in each combination then set one for each dual optional role as it fits more in game (IMHO I bolded the ones that made more sense)
