The idea of Red Mage being a DPS very similar to DRK, to me is not a bad idea, neither is the Samurai as a Tank following the FFT skill set (Draw Out/ Iaido) (tweaked of course for FFXIV). However i truly think we may be on the verge of a battle system change that may introduce skill/ talent trees allowing us to choose roles within jobs, and consolidated skills/traits to help with skill bloat (not certain it's good thing tbh). Mind you this is only my opinion, I have seen no evidence that this is what to expect from 4.0.
