Casters (BLM/SMN), Ranged DpS (BRD/MCH) and the 3 Healers also share gear like the tanks do. DRG, MNK and NIN are the odd balls.

MNK and NIN (the light melee DpS) share gear models but don't use the same stuff because SE doesn't want high level pieces to have both Str and Dex. If any new Str or Dex based light melee jobs was added most of the MNK/NIN gear would be shared with them.

DRG has its exclusive "Medium" gear (with models that float between being shared with the Tanks and shared with the light melees) because it is the only "Heavy melee DpS" right now. If there was another heavy melee job (such as a Samurai DpS) then it would be shared with them.
