As for samurai, I think it could be a toggle-able stationary melee DPS that uses oGCD skills for movement (side stepping to flank/rears, or backwards), or a completely different resource (the game desperately needs to break away from TP being the only resource for physical dps, if MCH is any indicator), either using mana (similiiar but not a carbon copy of DRK) or a stacking spirit buff of sorts.
