If You Were A Class/Job Designer...

What armor a class wears is pointless if the only thing that matters is base stats on each piece. With glamour it's actually even more skewed since you just take gear with the best stats and glamour something you like on it.

Technically one of the Red Mages de facto skills to offset it's lower spell pool was Dualcast(let's be honest swiftcast kinda already does this unless they make RDM do it all the time) or the ability to chainspell. If the BLM doesn't get Annihilation in next expansion Red Mage might get it since it combines Fire and Ice together. Albeit at a long cast time/cooldown. Maybe 5 minutes cooldown and a 10 second cast time.

What is Annihilation? Ascian Prime spell. Running by the game's jaded lore concepts it looks like probably the ultimate BLM spell.

Double and Triple already exist in the game. Always saw them as future RDM abilities.

Technically a more limited form of double is available to BLM. Sharpcast. Which I mainly use for double Thunder 3.

Literally Double and Triple are already in the game, both of which I know for a fact aren't gonna be usable, just as Drain isn't usable by us, though I don't know why. Anyway, Sharpcast is nothing like Double or Triple. It just makes you proc your additional effects, nothing else.

I'm actually kinda disappointed we don't have Double/Triple as a skill. I see a lot of throwback skills from FF games simply delegated to boss mechanics. The most recent being the Reverse spell used by that lame boss in one of the new dungeons.
