As far as we know summoner could get basic thunder/fire spells (dot version) and BLM would just get all the big Ancient magic spells. Hard to assume ATM with out having all the info on blm yet.
Yes this is true, and speculation is the worst nightmare for this kind of stuff.

If Arcanist in fact has fairly equal power to BLM, but with Wind/Stone/Water, then the elemental issue is done and dusted.

Yoshi has said in a live letter that all classes have been changed / have planned changes - and mentioned MNK being quite an extensive change, but yes we have heard absolutely nothing about BLM. I do fear that silence = not much change... Although it could mean the complete opposite.

Like I said, speculation is the devil.
