The 4th Tank.

[Freyyy]

I'd like to see either a DoM Tank (Red Mage maybe) or Viking (Hammer+Shield)

Yes please Viking ! You're a real man. I want a hammer job.

I wouldn't worry about a 4th tank at a time where the current three are biting each other necks for what they don't have.

A disciple of magic "barrier" tank would be a nice idea. Converting damage done to shields or having some self-heals that add barriers (like adlo) with some unique resource. Some of its CDs would also add layers of HP similar to Thrill of Battle/Stoneskin and others reduce damage for when self-scaling is not high enough.
This will be different from the static % reduction the other tanks work with and would be self-scaling. But it also means with better gear you out-scale other tanks giving it a unique flavor in farm content.

I suspect Samurai. They said the primary reason they didn't choose it in place of DRK is because they didn't want to flood the game with Japanese themed jobs. The second reason was because DRK was more fitting for the theme. It has a lot of potential for tank abilities anyway.

I imagine this tank would have slightly more utility i.e party blocking/support than the PLD but over all less damage since he's basically holding two tonfa shields.

I was thinking about this I think if they add them they should be called sentinels and be a unique job in the same aspect that Astrologians are pretty unique to the series.

Beastmaster. Dual wields axes a la ffxi, instead of having a pet per se, cool down animations for mitigation in the form of pets. Example: a 30% damage reduction like Vengeance, but you summon a mini adamantoise that takes 30% of all incoming damage for 20 secs or 15k damage total. Or summon an ant lion that increases your slashing damage by 10% and deals dot damage potency of 40 for 40secs. Have an Mch like overdrive ability in later levels, the possibilities are pretty cool.

It would be interesting if we end up getting like, 3 different Garlean themed classes. That for tanking, DPS get sword gun, healers get like... book gun, I dont know.

Hard to say what they are thinking now, they have said so many things throughout the course of the past 6 months. Samuri should be going dps because what Yoshi has wanted he has pretty gotten or come true.
The next tank I would like to see it something that actually makes Parry good and a worthwhile stat in the game...no idea what it should be (dancer would be lame).

You're already thinking the 3.0 warrior.

Yeah...Raw Intuition is the shit....love that.

I've got my money on Magitek Knight or Samurai next. Both of them would be tanky and good fun.
