I think people are forgetting something here, unless I missed it....
Yoshi said some time ago that there's gonna be a system where jobs cross class to make a second job, and mentioned Red Mage as an example. I don't remember now what the cross job named exactly was. So, while certain classic jobs will be there, not necessarily they'll branch directly from a class. I imagine Red Mage, Blue Mage and similar others to be that way.
As for Pugilist, I'm strongly for Dancer too, I could really see it being PUG+CNJ. And would totally play it.
For Conjurer, I can see Geomancer, because I think the other option is gonna be dps and not another healer/support. If you think about it, the class questline is all about communing with nature and taking power from it, and a lot about using it also to attack and not only to heal. So restricting it to non-damage dealer roles would defeat that all a bit imho.
As for GLA, DRK, etc I sadly know nothing about <.<
