I've already stated that I really don't think RDM should be a healer, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people would lose their minds if it was stuck as one, but THM deserves a special mention here. I really don't think THM could realistically become a healer without making major changes to the way Astral Fire and Umbral Ice work. Because if Square Enix were to just give THM some healing spells, there would probably be no reason to bring in ANY other healer. One quick cast of Blizzard 1 to refresh the timer on Umbral Ice and you have a healer with pretty much infinite MP.

I'm not a fan of sticking the healer into melee range.

Puppetmaster -- Healing abilities in FF4: After Years, FF11. Could come from any class. Would be a bit lame to have two pet healers, though.
Once again you have that "healer in melee range" problem, because of the master goes down, the automaton goes down with it. Even if you somehow justified giving the master some healing powers as well (because nobody wants all of a class's healing potential in the hands of the summoned mammet's lacking AI), the concept steps on the toes of the Scholar, who is already the healer with the healer pet.

Dancer -- Has had many a healing dance in its day, but is never a healer, per se. Could come from any lightly-armored character, which is just Pugilist or Archer at this point but could be other future classes as well. Yeah, I've now made two suggestions of PGL healer, so sue me.
My thoughts on Dancer can be seen here.

Machinist -- Healing ability in FFTA/2, but it's a bit of a stretch.
Chemist would be a better potential healer, IMO. Could have it coming from Musketeer or something (but that's secondary to bringing Corsair back).
