I understand your reservations on going tank but with how things are at up with the duty finder system people in your group can get a new tank most of the time if you had to drop. Dps queues can be horrible. Bard is also a good idea if you want to play a dps. They are easy to play, mobile, and not so punishing if you mess up your rotations. They are also well loved in end game content.

Edit:

Read up where you said you are enjoying arcanist. It's a really fun class. I enjoy scholar and in lower level dungeons you can literally put yourself on follow and have your fairy auto heal everyone. Good luck in your travels!

I will probably try archer/bard next. I have very limited play time, so I don't want to swap characters too much.

The nature of the game almost requires you to level multiple classes, so it's never a waste of time. You're always going to need a second class at 15 to unlock any job. You're gong to want certain cross class skills. For instance, on BRD you're going to want Internal Release from PGL and Blood For Blood from LNC. On WAR you'll want Flash from GLA. On SMN you'll want Swiftcast from THM and Quelling Strikes and Raging Strikes from ARC. These are just brief examples.

It's always a good idea to level up many classes. The skills come in handy.
