A combined shield spear/staff would be cool. Or, a tank that uses a giant Japanese Fan could work . Like Temari from Naruto.
Or, because a blue mage would be a caster/melee hybrid like Red, it has weaponskill for aggro and spells for DPS, with some instant cast spells (Just like all the gcds other tanks have) as additional aggro and defensive abilities.

There's no reason why that couldn't work.

Have it keep all the same stats as the other tanks incl. Strength, explain it as blue magic not being the casters own aether but the gathered aether of aggrod enemies.
Have the iconic blue magic spells utilise a job gauge instead of MP.
Sorted.
