Would Discipline Priest Mechanics work in FFXIV?

Moreover, should space really be such an issue, what's so wrong then with bringing one extra caster, and moving one healer into melee position? So you might lose a melee dps occasionally in order to fill out the composition; it's not the first time one job's excluded another or a set thereof (DRK diminishing MNK value and vice versa, or MCH prefering an all-physical group wherever possible, or even high healer accuracy reducing the point in having a Bard, or a Paladin the point in having a shielding healer if all would-be lethal raid damage were to fall within its DV timer), and it probably wouldn't be the last. The only real virtue of having all jobs on one character, especially with shared role gear, is that we can swap out accordingly.

because DF is a thing...and in a 8 man DF you can get 2 tanks 3 melees and 2 "melee healers" ....and a lonely black mageeee relegated to the backstaaageee

SE could force more ranged into a melee healer setup ? yeah but queues are bad already for dps , forcing melees dps to wait even more because there is a melee healer , when all healers work withn ranged ....is a bad idea...
