Personally, I would be very disappointed if chemist became a DPS.

Historically in Final Fantasy it has almost NEVER been a DPS, and even when it could, it wasn't the primary goal. Plus, if it ended up being a dps, it would have to have a LOT of support, which would further push Bard and Dancer out of the way. It would be better if it joined up with Astrologian, giving the healers another support based healer.

I really want to see Bard get more of its utility back, and I don't think it would do the game any justice if it were in the way as a DPS. It needs to be a healer, and only a healer as its primary goal. That way we can form a niche and leave the other support DPS's to continue to get better as time goes on.
