Why can't we have a dancer class? And why can't we expand on the bard?

Dancer would be nice as a healer because they'll be frontline healers which is something different; however, I do see some problems with a dancer healer because many AOE attacks like in garuda extreme do target healers so they might be very dangerous to use in certain battles, but the benefit this game has is that deadly frontline attacks can be avoided unlike in other games so they have a even bigger chance of making an appearance. Final Fantasy XI almost had the perfect concept in mind for how a dancer should work, the reason why dancers were discouraged from doing there intended role is because in that game frontline healers were unrealistic due to the high volume of deadly attacks, and no clear role identifier like this game has FF11 also has one of the percent skill setup that could work for the class/job.

1.) Curing Waltz (Basic Cure)
2.) Healing Waltz (Esuna)
3.) Drain Samba (Regen based on hits on mobs)

I think you're forgetting Ifrit EX. I love XI's version of dancer (dual wielding daggers, heal dances are instant but have cooldown and cost TP instead, has a combo point mechanic like wrath that lets then convert it back to TP or other effects) but imagining that kind of healing dancer in ifrit ex, well, I can't imagine it going well. Now that I think about it, there's T7 too? I'm sure there's more. The idea of a melee healer in this game is starting to sound implausible...

Throwing daggers maybe? I don't think a 25 yalm long whip is a usable weapon.
