And here is an exert if you can't access the page.

Dark Knight is the new tanking job, Astrologian is the new healing job and Machinist is a new ranged damage dealer (DPS) job. There was a time when Samurai was in consideration as the new tank, and Astrologian was going to be a Chemist or carry a gun, but that changed during the course of development. All three new jobs have a unique design, and while we still don't have a lot of details on how they'll play, we can take a look at what we know and determine a few things.
It does say "Astrologian" was going to be a Chemist or carry a gun, but that is just indicating thoughts about the "healer" class idea, before it was separated into Astrologian and Machinist.
