I know this has been talked about already. However, most of the recent discussion has been as sort of a side discussion in the White Mage and Ishgardian threads.
I searched the forums for any threads that -directly- talked about the plausibility of ICly being a Dragoon. I found an old one!

I wanted to show this to the many many new people who have joined the community since then. Many people have expressed interest in being IC Dragoons. And I also have something to add.
My interpretation:
According to the NPC, Dragoons are elite Ishgard knights. With an IC means to receive the training, I see no reason why someone can't become an IC Dragoon (or at least have the skills of one).
It is the leader of the Dragoons (The Azure Dragoon) who is chosen by the Eye relic. This Azure Dragoon is the only one who has the special powers of a dragon. Thus, being an IC Azure Dragoon is probably a no no.
Now, I have not had a chance to read all the dialogue and lore regarding Dragoons, but what this NPC said seems pretty clear to me.
As for what a "standard" Dragoon would be capable of, I have no idea. That seems rather vague to me. Obviously though, they would not have the same power as the Azure Dragoon.
