The Meta Demands Specialization, and RDM's are too middling to offer anything of worth at cap. All it would do is serve a few roleplayers' interest, and we know how this or any other MMO feels about that.
SAM is a given. In fact the only way I would be surprised is if it were NOT announced. The only question is what role it would fill. I lean more towards DPS, but who knows? There could be a case for a ronin facing down dragons by him/herself I guess? I just think the art of a samurai's swordplay is more fitting of a DPS role. But we've been surprised before.
So where does that leave the other jobs? Well, we still have that damn Musketeer's Guild in Limsa winking at us, and we have seen Mistbeard in action. Maybe that's our new tank; a sword-and-flintlock monster that offers alternate single-target and AoE moves.
As for the next healing class? That one is trickier. Assuming we're going to Ala Mhigo this expack, perhaps there's a job hiding there that can offer buff and heals. Maybe a Dancer? Eh.
Ughhh I want to be a corsair so bad.
