Sure they can do it in a pinch if the MP if in excess and alittle bit of damage helps. However counting on WHM dmg consistently is going to be very difficult because most WHM will resist the notion. For good reason too. Why make life overly complicated for 3 PT members by splitting the roles and sharing numerous responsible in a fight when it is so much easier to do what each job is designed to do?
The funny thing is that this can be applied to PLD and off-healing. Makes sense, too.

PLD needs to be the Job you choose for HARD hitting NMs. Mainly the ones that dish out powerful magical attacks.
Niche gameplay sucks in the long run. I'd like to see Final Fantasy break out of that bad habit and give us multiple tank and healer classes so that everyone isn't crammed into PLD or WHM or WAR.
