Thoughts from a 60 AST & 60 WHM

But the mana issue is the biggest gate I see to this.

The liveletter said they're looking into MP issues for jobs that are having a rough time with it, and planning adjustments. I'm cautiously optimistic ^^

Reading back the live letter, I don't think they will allow stance dancing. Rather they will adjust/buff up things to fit more with the class. Fixing mp problem is promised though

Stance dancing was not mentioned in the letter, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. They stated there will be AST like adjustments to Collective Unconscious and Celestial Opposition that will switch depending on the stance.

I recently played through all 4 Alexander floors as AST and I have found it very easy to clear fights with a WHM and AST in Diurnal by stacking all our regens so we could focus on the tanks without blowing mp and always saving CD for LA to extend my mp regen which allowed me to keep my mp from falling below 30%.
