I think it is fine for dancer to be a dps. Why did people think dancer was going to be a healer? For the most part dancer was a debuffer in the Final Fantasy series but in FFXI the only mmo its been in it was a support dps that had buffs/debuffs with some healing dances but it wasn't the main point of the job. It falls in line to with what ranged physical dps do in FFXIV.

I think it makes sense being a physical ranged dps in FFXIV since BRD and MCH fill the support dps role in FFXIV.
