I'm sure these things have been mentioned, but it's not like SAM can't have some damage mitigation skills and still be DPS as a Job. BLM can mitigate damage on themselves and others, NIN had perfect dodge which avoided one phys attack completely, MNK has an INT down debuff, DRG can parry and so on.

3rd Eye can just be like old Perfect Dodge. Imagine how NIN got enmity manipulation skills 50-60, and just place SAM there, with mitigation skills for the party. Either way, I'm sure they have an interesting way to make them play out. Especially if they add battle system mechanics that we currently don't have now.
