As a terrible exemple, if the next healer in 3.0 doesn't have any "equal" sort of magic defense buffs like the whm have right now... I leave to your imagination what recruitments for endgame communities will look like if dragoon doesn't get an emergency fix on their magic defenses :/
Something like : "heavensward-endgame-content-fc looking for a melee dps (no loldragoons!)"
Essentially this ^

No single job should require an "optimal" party setup to survive on their own merit, whether the party contains 2 SCH, 2 WHM, or a solitary healer should have ZERO effect on the Dragoon's native survivability especially considering this is NOT the case for any other job.

Add to this the fact that there are only 2 Healing jobs available in the game currently, it's not even that uncommon to see groups running 2 SCH or 2 WHM if for no other reason than the lack of an available alternative.

Dragoon should not be penalized for a party attempting to be flexible in it's composition.

As the example given, if the next healer released doesn't have a form of Magic Damage mitigation is Dragoon only going to be viable in parties that specifically have a White Mage as a healer? That condition alone would be enough to bar them from almost all endgame content in favor of another DPS (remember no other DPS has this problem currently) if a party cannot meet that criteria.

Lets not act like this isn't an issue.
