As for Blue Mage for Tank, I think that has the potential to be really interesting. It's certainly not something you would see everyday and would be a refreshing break from the run of the "big weapon meat shield." tank classes we tend to see. At least when it comes to the over all theme of a class.
Samurais generally are a tank role in FF games just more debuff focused and less defensive than knight however still have high hp and defense. Also the very nature of a samurai in general is very tank like, the bright colors and decorative armor was to draw attention on the battle field and were about the protection of their masters. DRK on the other hand is all about damage, using it's own HP to deal damage isn't a very tank like thing.
