I like the concept of this, but the stationary nature of the job would need some tweaking. Perhaps the Channeler instead summons idols onto the field, with a maximum amount, by targeting an ally. The gauge shows the charge remaining on each Idol, and the Channeler is playing its own little mini-game by trying to keep these idols full, for damage and healing. This would allow the Channeler to main a focus style of play by choosing their priority targets, but without becoming very limited in an encounter such as Titan.

The special bonuses that you have currently as stances would instead apply to the idols themselves.

Idols recharge by the aether channeling, and you get rewarded for completely finishing said charge. this could be what grants the Channel the Focus Charges they expend for their other special abilities.
