    I'd actually love Onion Knight as a limited tank job.
    I doubt it could slot any abilities you want from the entire game, but would rather have it's own very large set of skills, that you unlock by levelling other jobs (up to a max of level 50).

    For example, getting WHM to level 30 would unlock Cure, level 40 would unlock Cure III and level 50 would unlock Benediction.
    While leveling SCH to 30/40/50 would give you Bio, Bane and Sacred Soil.
    AST would give you Diurnal Stance, Aspected Benefic and Aspected Helios.
    Having any healer at level 30 would unlock Esuna, and any healer to level 50 would unlock Raise.
    So by leveling all three healers you could effectively build a complete healer kit.

    Add the casters for:
    BLM: Scathe (increased potency or with a combo bonus), Freeze, Flare
    SMN: Bio and Bane shared with SCH, but Summon III + Enkindle for level 50.
    RDM: Corps-a-corps, Displacement, Acceleration (functions differently, grants your next 3 viable spells the Dualcast effect, so covers 6 GCDs)
    Any caster: Addle for level 30, Swiftcast at level 50.

    Ranged:
    BRD: Windbite (can be spread by Bane), Army's Paeon, Battle Voice
    MCH: Gauss Round, Hypercharge+Heat Blast, Ricochet
    DNC: Windmill, Bladeshower, En Avant
    Any ranged: Leg Graze and Peloton

    Melee could be:
    MNK: Fists of Earth, Fists of Wind, Fists of Fire
    DRG: Life Surge, Jump, Dragonfire Dive
    NIN: Ninjutsu+Ten, Chi, Jin
    SAM: Third Eye, Merciful Eyes, Seigan (slightly different from Hassatsu: Seigan, no Kenki cost, 150 base potency, 250 under Eyes Open)
    Any melee: Feint and Bloodbath

    Tanks:
    PLD: Spirits Within, Sentinel, Cover
    WAR: Berserk, Thrill of Battle, Vengeance
    DRK: Souleater, Blood Weapon, Dark Mind
    GNB: Camouflage, Danger Zone, Aurora
    Any tank: Reprisal and Arms Length

    By default it has it's own basic tank kit including:
    1-2-3 combo (Souleater can replace 3)
    AoE attack (can combo into either Freeze or Flare, or Bladeshower)
    Ranged attack with increased enmity (can combo into Scathe)
    On-demand mitigation e.g. Sheltron/Raw Intuition/TBN/Heart of Stone
    Person invuln skill (perhaps a 90% damage reduction for 8s on a 5m CD?)
    Tank stance
    Rampart, Provoke and Shirk

    Then like Blue Mage you can slot in up to 25 of these cross-class abilities.
