You could say that about DRK too.
We should get another tank class, because otherwise those that enjoy tanking haven't had any new jobs for four years, and those who would tank but don't like the existing tanks would have another option.

I want to tank, but I'm not at all interested in PLD or WAR.
I've had to settle for DRK as the best option out of three, but personally find the 'edgelord' a bit to strong and the DA spam annoying.

If either BLU or the gunblade class was a tank, it'd be awesome and I'd finally have a tank class I'd enjoy.

Blue mage has never really been about damage, it's always been utility, with a mix of gimmicky healing, mitigation and debuffing, plus usually has pretty decent physical capability.
It wouldn't be out of place as a tank at all.
