Both use strength but one wears "leather/cloth" and the other "mail/leather".
What will likely happen, is they will add more DPS to the game, and likely those DPS will share - just as MCH shared with BRD.

If I had to guess, SAM will share with DRG. I don't see them taking SAM into a light-armor role. It also makes sense - Polearms and Katanas are a favored weapon of Samurai, so having it share the same armor class with the lance-wielder makes sense to me.
