That's not terribly unrealistic, especially since we see exactly how flexible the armor is in the Heavensward trailer (look again when Midlander is putting the gauntlet on at how many fins/spikes/moving pieces there are! It looks more like techarmor than not). The real question comes down to "how much control." The ability to home in on a moving target that's mansized is... Pretty powerful in the scheme of things.That's assuming they're wearing it though - Granted, any dragoon RPer would chomp at wearing the AF but still.
Also, just saying, they get hit by a Jump, they're skewered regardless of how tough their armor is. So anyone not dodging that shit and just no selling it is about as bad as the DRG using Jump against a human, unrestrained opponent.
Unless they're gonna start pretending their armor (and their inner organs from the blow) are tougher than dragon scales.
