Guess it's time to end this 'war' with a theory that I could best create in my mind of how Dragoon's jump and how this translates over to combat using world lore.
Firstly, I think there is one common concept that everyone is not seeing about Dragoon's and how they jump. They manipulate and charge their leg's with Aether, allowing them to burst forward at an immense speed. The challenge afterword's is the decent, which I would assume they would charge their leg's with Aether to soak the impact of the fall back to the ground.
The first image shows how they would jump. The initial burst from the ground would send them flying through the sky due to their Aether charge leg's, allowing them to quickly fly up and stab any Dragon's flying way out of their lance's reach and for the fall back down, they would again charge their leg's but the charge would 'superman' their leg's, completely nulling and absorbing the impact of the fall.
Of course, in more demanding situations for Dragoons where their foes are extremely mobile of fleet of foot and can evade their thrusts, they would require advanced acrobatic training. Using my theory of the Aether charged Dragoon leg jump thingy, if they were fighting in some sort of indoor installation or a small, closed and confined quarters, an expert Dragoon would keep their leg's charged the entire time, allowing them to ricochet off of surfaces granted them increased speed and more deadly thrust power.
In the event they screw up their jump and they end up free falling or they mess up while trying to ricochet off of surfaces and end up tumbling, they would need the advanced acrobatic training to help them recover from a otherwise lethal screw up.
In other word's, to be a Dragoon, you would need a good deal of Aether control to charge you're legs, the ability to move and perform acrobatics while in chainmail or plater armor.  (the soul stone probably helps them with this as well as the Aether charging.) And a great amount of skill with a lance as often some of their acrobatic or airborn techniques would require them to have a great understanding of polearm's to an extent.
With that said, in the upcoming upd8 Dragoon's are going to get a speed buff to help keep them on par with Ninja's. This in turn creates a new theory of more application's. Charging you're leg's with Aether to increase running agility while on the ground.
They could probably also be really good at Tae Kwon Do if they had some kicking techniques as an Aether charged axe kick from a skilled Dragoon would probably decapitate someone, lol.
Anyways, there is my theory. Hope you guy's enjoy picking at it, lol.
