while not pertinent to this thread, the following quote made me laugh aloud

There isn't a single good reason from a *developmental* standpoint for THF to be its own class if NIN is also implemented.
The Thief is to the Ninja as the Archer is to the Bard. what could have possibly given you cause to believe otherwise?

As for the DRK, it'll be quite a long while before added. Don't hold your breath unless blue is a hue you wish to remain.
