If the job was a melee healer, I see it working much like DRK. It would use MP to heal, and refill its MP through attacking.
Well this all depends on how they design the job to work mechanically. MP does not work the same for every job that has access to it. BLMs regenerate their MP actively by using specific skills. DRKs regenerate their MP with buff management and combos. Why can't a new job use TP differently to the other TP based jobs?

I always see people shooting down job concepts on these forums based solely on existing job mechanics, yet a new job won't use existing mechanics or it wouldn't be a very unique new job. There's no reason DNC couldn't use TP to heal and actively generate more TP in some way. Hell I can think of dozens of different ways TP based healing would work just fine. DNC was a TP based healer in FFXI. It works.
