They do what with tanks and healers? The only job that can change it's role is the arcanist, and I read that's not a model they want to continue in the future because of gearing issues (since summoners and scholars share stats, but serve 2 different roles). Although, your post does make me think a better solution is to open up more cross class skills. Since I main arcanist, I'd could see giving repose to scholars and sleep to summoners a way to ensure that skill is present. However, I think it's possible to do that with other classes.
