Achievement rewards for doing raids differently have been requested before and they didn't need to be class specific.

It seems like BLU's only purpose is to introduce new ways of playing old content to people who lack the imagination to challenge themselves.
There is potential for BLU to be able to do challenge runs where 8 tank runs could not, after heavenward encounter design changed in such a way to make 8 tank runs of savage and such content significantly more difficult/impossible (o3s for example physically cannot be done due to the game mechanic), and a lot of mechanics like 2nd forsaken / grand cross / virus require consistent pre positioning based on role. If BLU's mimicry makes these mechanics target like normal then BLU could do challenge runs where all tank runs dropped off, but thats just to do with mechanics rather than toolset. I still don't think thats a valuable enough niche though for blu because youre essentially just running content as an intended party at that point with just some wonky tactics and situationally overpowered skill.
