    Why? DNC was worse off as a healer because it was relegated to soloing stuff (meaningless in a game built from the ground up on partying) and a survivability subjob for those that didn't want to burn money on Shihei for Utsusemi via /NIN. Sure, in theory DNC as a healer sounds nice, but the actual practical applications of the job were VERY far off the mark.

    This said, here. I still say this would definitely work and give an alternative aesthetic beyond "a guy in plate armor" for people who want to tank.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:

    Don't ask me, I'm 100% in favour of it. I've just seen backlash before when they change things up, like with DRK
