It really shouldn't take a significant amount of work. Make them all the same job with shared levels and actions, but just with differing roles and a trait that bakes in the corresponding Aetherial Mimicry buff.
This could still happen. I'd like to stay somewhat optimistic and believe that the BLU will eventually blossom into a real job that can run as any of the 3 Roles. You won't be using the same, more gimmicky attacks though. You'd have to go through the process of refining your spells, or something to that nature. Possibly some new content added to BLU that requires you to use certain spells that are essential for the different roles. Once you completely refine all the spells associated with that role, you get to now run as Blue Mage+ (Tank), Blue Mage+ (Caster DPS), or Blue Mage+ (Healer) and actually do things like roulettes and the rest of the game's content.
