Sounds like either a new class type (Hybrid, Support, etc.) or a tank.

Yoshi-P already confirmed Stormblood will not bring a new class type.

That said, I do believe RDM could be a healer job in XIV and I wouldn't be mad, since they would still get to do the "heal sometime, dps sometime" part of the job. I just would hate it if RDM wasn't a sword-user. And it would be weird to have to be in melee range and duck in/out of aoe as a healer.
