I don't think you guys remember the weapon damage imbalance that Bard had in ARR. It had to be rebalanced because it was too good compared to every other class. In the case of Scouting versus Healing gear Scouting would give Dancer more HP to work with, meaning they'd be able to boost their healing potency even further than the other two healers by skipping VIT melds, which matters a ton for world first. They also wouldn't have access to Piety outside of melding, but would get access to Direct Hit, a damage stat that neither of the two other healers would be able to replicate. It's not a good idea. They have to be in Mind gear because of those reasons. No exceptions.

Polearms are a weapon that the Ivalice Dancers have been able to use in the past. Given Ivalice has appeared in this game and the speculation about going to Rabanastre in the next expansion, it is possible as a weapon type. It's also Blunt Damage which if Dancer were to be melee dps oriented, whether as a healer or DPS class, would introduce another piercing situation with Monk. So that's a reason it might not happen.

World first balance only matters for about three weeks out of every two years.

There can always be exceptions. Code can be rewritten to make exceptions work. The code hasn't been chiseled onto marble tablets, much as some people here seem to think it has.

Sure there could be a workaround, an incredibly convoluted workaround that they're never going to do because it would be far, far simpler to implement a healer that uses healer gear.

This. Especially given how lopsided this game is when it comes to class balance. Don't make SE's job harder than it needs to be.

@ Starcake, i do not think people are trying to argue with you but just pointing out that just because players on your server are talking about Blu (most likely because they want it in game) does not make it so.
SE has not revealed or confirmed any jobs for 5.0 yet. Many had been talking about Dancer before Stormblood launch and alas we did not get it.
I have a friend that works at SE and he has been tight lip about it.

they can barley balance drk into the tank roles, dunno if a 4th tank is a good idea atm, unless they revamp drk (giving it a better tank identity)

The Devs stated that DRK is undergoing some major changes so we'll either see some big adjustments or a complete rework, probably ready for the next expac. We won't really know whether it's balanced or not till it goes live, but eitherway with every new expac many jobs are patched several times afterwards so balance is a never ending project.
