Dual wield is nice, but BLU/NIN pre-merit levels is for players who really like to spam DD spells while using Utsusemi for damage mitigation, while BLU/THF is for people who like to cast DD spells with better efficiency and bigger spike damage.
BLU/WHM has strong potentials and great flexibility, but BLUs rarely get invited as main healer. Not that it's shabby at DD'ing at all; just takes self control not to become an MP sponge, and yet doesn't give those satisfying damage spikes like /THF.

That's a great attitude. I really hate those BLUs who refuse to help out with curing even when the main healer is running dry.

Overall, it's less satisfactory experience than either PLD or NIN tanking; it feels like a less and less capable tank after Lv.30, while PLD and NIN become stronger and stronger. While a BLU tank isn't horrible, a party is usually better off getting a PLD or NIN instead.
BLU is better played as a flexible job covering DD'ing, curing, and some support role duties, IMO.
