That shouldnt be the answer and you should be able to do any quest with any job which is what we have now.

If you get rid of Cleric stance and the ability to dps as a healer, who knows what kind of effects that can have to the game population as well as the healer population.
As I've said before, it is possible to make damage spells on WHM/SCH/AST scale with MND and adjust the pace of combat in dungeons/raids to where you won't have as many opportunities to deal damage since you'd be focusing on keeping people alive. Outright removing Cleric Stance would not necessarily make story completion impossible.
