They could take MCH, SAM, and BLM from their current groups and put them into a new one. Buff MCH to be around the same level as SAM and BLM and boom all balancing is basically done. People would still bring BRD or DNC even if MCH did 10% more dps because a pranged (which MCH wouldn't be part of the "pranged" role anymore) is required to get that necessary party buff.

I don't actually think they will do what I'm suggesting. It just seems like this is the best way to fix MCH. If they leave it as it is MCH basically has three options. Stay woefully irrelevant in the prange role, be over powered in the prange role, or change MCH into a Bard with a gun, which would just be another step towards homogeneity of dps classes.
Or they could properly balance the Jobs and MCH would only do ~1% less than BRD/DNC
