Preparing for dancer

For some reason I find dancer oddly entertaining. I think the biggest reason is because I don't have to be reliant on anyone for support in most situations. As long as I can cure myself I can keep going for awhile. Here is a list of equipment that I think I need to play the job properly while being realistic about what I can afford or earn. I do not believe weaponskill equipment is needed at all for dancer, so I will not cover that.

Items in bold are items I want or should have, regular font are items I already have, italics are nice to haves.

Weapons:Adder Jambiya/Matron's Knife/JoyeuseIt is unlikely I would merit with dancer which is the only time I see a joyeuse as being useful although it would be nice for working up to 75.
Range:Junior Musketeer's Chakram +2I will most likely stick with this over swapping an ammo with melee stats on it.
Head:Optical Hat/Walahra Turban
Neck:Love Torque
Earrings:Brutal Earring/Something else There are a lot of secondary earrings to choose from. All of them are basically the same.
Body:Scorpion Harness +1/Denali JacketI currently have a normal harness. I do not know if I will upgrade.
Hands:Dusk Gloves
Rings:Rajas Ring/Accuracy ringsAccuarcy rings are all easy to come by.
Back:Charger Mantle/Forager's MantleMaybe it is time to get a forager's.
Waist:Swift Belt
Legs:Barbarossa's Zerehs
Feet:Dusk Ledelsens/Denali Gamashes

After looking closer at many of the options available to dancer the equipment choices are pretty disappointing. I have almost everything I need assuming I am not overlooking anything and can purchase nearly everything I don't already have off of the auction house. I will need to make an attempt at getting a swift belt sooner or later.

Hopefully this coming update in March will reveal interesting artifact armour, unlock a Salvage set for the job (Usukane please!), and introduce another alternate 75ish equipment from Wings of the Goddess. I intend to merit dagger to help strengthen the job. Hopefully dagger merits will be completed before any job specific merits are introduced.
