What other tank jobs could come to XIV?

Blue Mage as a tank would be interesting.

I keep trying to visualize how this would be done, mainly because it's not like there's a lot that Blue Mages ever got that was really "tanky". They pretty much always got offensive abilities from Blue Magic; the only "tanky" thing that they had to do was take that first hit from the ability to the face and survive. If anything, I expect Blue Mage to be another DPS job (if it's added) that simply uses the "get hit by an attack" as the 5 jobs quests that provide the job abilities.

To be fair, Blue Mages were never really damage dealers in any FF (except XI) either, but there's no "lots of quirky abilities" role in the dungeon finder.
