Answering a question with a question doesn't result in an answer.

Since you didn't answer, I'll list my conclusions and bow out:
* Allowing them to bypass mechanics is a horrible idea that will result in nobody ever running jobs again.
* There is no appeal to playing classes unless time is spent making them different enough from their jobs to be worth checking out.
* Likewise, there isn't a point to spending time developing classes when Yoshi-P can add more--and better--job options to the game.
* You're addressing a legitimate problem (high ping raiding) with a 'throw out the baby with the bathwater' solution (remove the dodging) when what really needs to be addressed is the core netcode.
* This will not add horizontal progression. You're grinding to acquire abilities and consumables (ergo, boosted stats or more skill options). That's as vertical as it gets.
