Honestly I can imagine it being better as a DoW class as the Beastmaster (a familiar class in FFXI). This class was similar to what you describe. Considering that furs, hides, horns, and the like are normal drops from most creatures, it isn't feasible to build a gatherer solely on it. However it might be interesting to add a class trait that increases the drop rate for those types of items making it similar to the point. Either way, the idea is nice but better for a combat class and might be fun for dungeons, trials, and raids.
