    Some of those ideas are honestly very good. I have no idea if the devs are on the same page on you, but fingers crossed some changes like that happen in 6.x patches.

    To clarify Samurai, its Sen gauge is based on a Japanese art principle "setsu gekka" (literally "snow, moon, and flowers"), which is kind of like the visual equivalent of haikus. It represents a progression through the light of the seasons: the "blue" white of snow in winter, the "yellow" white of the moon in autumn, and the "pink" white of flowers in spring.

    So while you are correct that the Samurai is "sky" themed, and has a lot of wind abilities to complement that, I do consider ice to be a substantial part of its central motif (albeit driven by wind like most other abilities). At any rate, it's certainly more of an ice class than any other job besides BLM.

    EDIT: I also looked back on your Green Mage ideas Shurrikhan, and I am on board. I feel like Green Mage and Geomancer could merge very well into a build that would round out the tanks pretty well. Give them a greathammer and some debuffs/buffs from Green Mage. Give them Sinkhole, Tanglevine, Tremor, Quicksand, Sandstorm, Magma Surge Nature's Wrath from Geomancer.
