What if Tanks were designed like Healers?

Everything should flow from the job's identity/aesthetic. Imagine the job gets, say, a two minute cutscene where it gets to be the badass in some scenario. What does it do?

Golems I think.
Conjurer and white mage's quests suffer from not really being all that substantial when it gets down to it. Here's some elements, clean taints, don't draw power from within. Also the elementals. There's also amdapor who were pretty neat but mostly touched on in the scholar quests. So to be cool the white mage can stick elementals in corporeal form for a bit, kind of like necromancy but sparkly. I dunno, maybe white mage just leans too heavily on external information to have a real identity within this game.

E: it occurs to me that we do actually have an instance of a healer doing cool stuff - . It is slightly unfortunate or perhaps telling that he didn't really achieve anything as a conjurer and had to turn himself into a pickle to solve the issue at hand.
