Probably because nobody has ever had a use for TP other than Weapon Skills. Dancer is already breaking tradition by putting TP to use outside of Weapon Skills, Blue Mage started the trend, but still kinda stayed within a familiar realm by making Physical Blue Magics similar to Weapon Skills via Chain Affinity. Dancer actually follows through by actually using the TP for its JAs, a piece here, a bit there, instead of the whole shebang in one shot. I figured since we're stuck to the number 300 for 75 whole levels, while TP costs for JAs goes up bit by bit, why not break 300% for some G2 merit abilities?

[Example] G2 Merit Job Traits

Rapture
Become capable of storing more than 300% TP. TP ceiling goes up by [10/20/30/pick a number] for each merit, for a maximum of [30/60/90/multiply picked number by 3] at capped merits.

Conserve TP
Has a chance to reduce TP costs of dances. Increase proc rate by [1%/3%/10%/pick a percentage] per merit, for a maximum of [3%/9%/30%/multiply picked percentage by 3] at capped merits.

This, of course, only applies when Dancer is main, and only for the purpose of using the extra TP for dances. It would have no effect on any Weapon Skill used while over 300% TP (it would register as you only having 300% when calculating mods). It would help relieve some of the TP requirements of dances since the pool we pull our abilities from never changes from levels 1 to 75.
