You can stay thm / conj and just play like you always have, which retain both there nuking / healing potential without restricting your abilities. They never said they were going to force you to have to abandon your current generic class.

Although you will lose the 'exclusive' skills and 'if' implemented Gear tied to either "WHM" or "BLM". But if you dont want to nuke you wont really care, or vice versa for healing.
This does not sound practical. Yoshida has been saying that the Job system is specifically designed for strategic/heavy party play while the class system will be there for soloing, ranking up and light party play. It seems unlikely that you'll be able to just "forego" the Job system whenever you want because you don't want to lose the versatility.

Of course I can't say that for sure that I'm right and you can't say you're right either at this point, it's too early to tell.
