That would allow the jobs to be balanced solely around their dps and raid buffs while also allowing DPS classes to raise in a pinch when healers can't afford the time or mp to do it.

Nobody wants their dps to be hamstrung by utility they won't even use during clean runs.
Don't take away my SMN Raise ability. Do you even main SMN? I've had enough abilities taken away and pets so fundamentally restructured it such. No more tanking with Titan egi in the overworld when solo etc. Enough has been done to my main as it is with abilities I have since 2013 being taken away. Raise is core to me for SMN and I'm sure it is with a lot of SMNs. And suddenly replacing it with an item? That item would have zero mp cost. Why would healers then even use their raise spell? So then you'd suggest because of a change with Phoenix down you'd take away raise from healers. A healer with out raise!?
