I understand what you're saying, but I've always seen Lancer as a strict DD. From launch 'til now, Lancer has always been a "DD" to me.

As far as what you're worried about, with the class revisions the only thing from your list I see Lancer losing is a very, very small amount of haste, and enemy tp generation. Still manage our own TP, still have the ability to stun, position still matters. The all-around concept is still the same in my eyes, we will just be moving more towards less accuracy and more crit. You have to keep in mind not all this stuff is set in stone, and there are level cap increases, some of the abilities they pull from us now very well could come back the moment they bump cap, which I can see happening at least once pre 2.0.
