While I agree with the majority of your post technically this is incorrect, at least for the time being. BLU will be using DoM gear up to 50 which had INT and MND on it l so if it has any sort of GCD heal it will be able to function as a healer at least as well as an ACN/SMN can with Physic.

Part of me wondered if that was a reason behind locking it so low - if people remember cross class skills back in that time there was a lot more flexibility within your role. I tanked many a boss as a CNJ and WHM intentionally when I got a bad tank and it was pretty viable. Maybe they're attempting to bring back that feeling?
