Well, SE painted themselves into a corner a bit by giving Daggers to Gladiator. Now, any job that classically uses Daggers (like THF) is going to have to have GLD as a base class, or else SE will need to provide some explanation as to why GLD can use THESE daggers but not THOSE daggers, and why THF/DNC/Whatever can use THOSE daggers but not THESE daggers.

It's a bit awkward.

SE could take an alternative route, since Dancers appear infrequently enough in FF lore that they aren't as tied to daggers as THFs are. They could be a hand-to-hand combatant based on PGL, or possibly give them an entirely new base class with a new weapon type (like whips).
