You also argue that because it's not what raiders would want it's a waste of resources that should've gone into making them happy. Not everything in an MMO is raiding, so no not all content needs to be for them.
The only "dangerous precedent" would be caving to this kind of tantrum.
I still think there could be a way to have both—open-world/solo play where you run around and learn all these different mob abilities, and then matched group-play/raiding where you have a set arsenal of skills that are used and balanced against the other DPS jobs (and that you do learn throughout your BLU travels via quests or something similar), so that both parties can enjoy the new job.

Sadly, that would take extra development time.
