Well, I ask you this, then. What makes a Scholar think it can compete with a White Mage? White Mage excels at healing because conjurer excels at healing. It's what they do. Scholar starts as a DD with 1 heal and 1 self heal in arcanist. Discounting the self heal this leaves Scholar with 6 healing actions, with Leeches being level 40 (seriously, why isn't it level 35). Have to discount cross-class as that'd be what unifies the three Jobs. Dancer would be no worse than Scholar, with maybe Ninja's 'kata' mechanic redone as Steps, with Step combinations performing various buffs, debuffs and heals. I can totally see it.
