I suspect that folks hoping for a melee healer like in FFXI will be disappointed! A chakram might be a good weapon for a DNC to perform ranged attacks.

This makes me sad, because I didn't consider it, but you're right. Perhaps dancer could have a melee stance and a ranged stance.

100% hoping for BLU tank and DNC healer. Chemist could be interesting too, but only if they don't relay on some dumb "you have to keep potions in your inventory" gimmick.

but that would be dope maybe not that u have to have them but maybe its like an ability almost like atherflow stacks you can use an ability to craft the potions and this requires mp you would then still be able to heal the party even if you dont have any mp left because you made the potions they could even make elixirs for mp and hp regen or ether for mp regen it would be dope. tear gas for blind goo for slows nitroglycerine for AOE damage or something like that

The way I'd do it would probably be a modified version of mudras themed on classical alchemy. Something like fire + fire + sulphur = big AoE explosion bottle you toss. Maybe have cooldowns that are all about modifying the functions and power of the next bottle, and another rapid OCD that lets you stash whatever you've just brewed with a potential stock of three bottles in reserve and ready to go.

Something like an Iron Knight for a tank maybe.
Based on Iron Man, the idea is you steal a prototype Garlean Magitek armor and as a tank can use missiles and wrist mounted blades to damage and draw threat. The armor's natural toughness can be augmented further by an energy shield. Gears are known as modules instead for tge armor as you improve it.

How about Edda's version of Necromancer...?

That, or Arya from the Red Mage job story.

We got a melee dps and a magic caster dps in storm blood. Very high chance we will get a tank and a healer before we get another dps, of which if we do, it should be a ranged physical dps (like Bard or Machinist).

That said, tank is unknown, healer could be Geomancer, ranged physical dps could be a Dancer/Dirvish using Chakrams and thrown weapons. I can't imagine them adding another dps though in 5.0 considering how there's 3 healers, 3 ranks, but like 10 dps jobs.
