Blue Mage probably works really well as a dps, you're right. But the problem I was addressing was how they will use a dps that has melee and magic abilities. I thought the class split may help separate the abilities but it seems like that is in the past. Blue Mage probably wouldn't even have a clear set rotation if you have a focus on gaining enemy attacks, which sounds kind of interesting.
