I think part of it is because of the way that in Stormblood we got two VERY iconic jobs as DPS. For me, the reason for wanting it to be a healer: it'll be a Disciple of War healer, something that doesn't yet exist in this game. It's also why I believe BLU (or some some of tanky magic job) should be made a tank... a Disciple of Magic tank. This opens up 2 new avenues in which we can venture into. Making a DoW healer would mean taking a different approach to the design (even if only slightly differently), as the principles that distinguish DoW vs DoM mean they have to have different designs, as DoW focuses more on TP than MP usage for example, and is more based on physical rather than magical abilities.

As for your ideas, I must admit, much as I would prefer DNC to be a healer, you've put a lot of thought into it, and it does look pretty well fleshed out.
