Now we'll have

4 Tanks (PLD/WAR/DRK/SAM)
4 Healers (WHM/SCH/AST/RDM)
2 Melees (MNK/DRG)
2 Casters (BLM/SMN)
2 Support Melee (NIN/DNC)
2 Support Range (BRD/MCH)
Flip Dancer and Red Mage around on that and I can have agreement. A focus on Red Mage to be healing when white magic has only been 1/3 of its capabilities would be an insult to the job. Dancer on the other hand is a more viable candidate to have offense and support/healing "stances" or modes to work from while not deviating from the nature of the job concept.
