Bard was a pure support class in FFXI and was highly sought after.
That sort of thing would require readjusting all dungeons. If it turned out that the Tank/Healer/DPS/Support was easier then everyone would run that and the Tank/Healer/DPSX2 combos would be unseen and frowned upon. They would almost have to adjust the dungeons to properly challenge both combos and that is a rather large task with lots of inhouse teasting needed.

Also, I tanked on my BRD in FFXI so I wouldn't call it a full support (I tanks for about 6months before they nerfed BRD tanks. ^^)
