And consider me part of the fencing sword camp. Gunblades don't really fit RDM. Now if they were to introduce a new job centered on a gunblade I guess that could work.
Idk about that "DNC isn't always a healer" statement. I mean I pretty much was the healer in both merit parties, abyssea parties, and other endgame content. Also they were much better when you went DNC/SAM. It gave you power and better ways to keep your TP up for healing, and since they got their own stacks of Dual Wield trait /NIN was kinda pointless save for Utsusemi: Ichi/Ni which DNC really didn't need that much, unless you were soloing. If you have to classify it into a role, it would be considered a Support healer akin to SCH in game.
