I only remember Yoshi P mentioning that he would like Samurai to be a DPS job, but has the potential as a tank and that it would require some consideration. Do you have a more recent source of this particular statement?

What are you talking about? Obviously the samurai will stab you to perform healing - Fun fact: It was actually a thing in Final Fantasy Tactics with a healing staff that healed whoever you attacked (which also resulted in death of the healer if said person being healed has counter equipped)
