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.

I can't remember but I think the whm job was unlocked with cnj/acn.... and the sch job was acn/conj... right? So don't all fights require both of those classes?

As far as I know, the current encounters require a healer, with either job working just fine. That's similar to how the tanks and damage classes are interchangeable. The role is needed, the class is not. The situation we're trying to avoid is where you need a specific class, or more precisely, a specific skill, to finish an encounter. The most extreme encounter I came across was in DAoC, where a stage of the Apocalypse fight can only be done by clerics; as in the boss could only be hurt by that class, and clerics were the lowest played class at the time.
