My own thoughts on BLU are I think it's great. For the longest time we thought it would never make it into the game based on earlier statements from Yoshi. Yet, it's on the way and before the expansion?! Freakin' awesome!

I feel that if we got a version of BLU that could participate in dungeons and raids, it would be severely watered down and a huge disappointment to BLU fans. I foresee tons upon tons threads to fix it. The devs can't rework the game to fit the lore around one job, and we already have so many DPS jobs filling the queues. I actually enjoy that they're breaking the mold a bit, and giving us something new. I had no interest in playing BLU when I first heard the rumors, and now with this I am totally on board.

I do sympathize for those who are disappointed though, but this is why I always say you have to be really careful in how much you invest into content that has yet to be implemented into the game.
