There is white and black mage, but we all know they gave up with them in ARR in letting them use the off-hand slot.

I honestly expect viper's weapons to be like ninja's weapons, in that its one item in the primary slot, so no mix-n-matching using the off-hand item slot.
You're actually quite right. There are so many ways they could make NIN so much better, which doiesn't mean the job is bad, before adding another dual wielder which means looks like the true dualwielder of the game.
