Traditionally, the Dark Knights have been greatsword or sword and board.
But considering how Yoshi feels about 'tradition' in the series, the odds are just as much in favor of it being Marauder.
I rather like the idea of a Dark Knight being a new Gladiator job - instead of leveling Conjurer to make a Paladin, level Thaumaturge to 15 to make it a Dark Knight, and thus the Paladin's mirror image. It's reminiscent of the Dark Templar class from Age Of Conan, and some of the Reaver Tank combos from Rift, which emphasize magic mitigation and heavy AOE Threat with the use of nasty little things like poison and demonic hands rising up in a circle around the character.
Samurai seems trickier, but then, I can't always think like SE does in the way it mixes Western and Eastern fantasy tropes, so they have options on approaching it.
The future of the game could very well simply be new Job combos for the existing classes, giving each one, eventually, the split options that the Arcanist has.
