Your fourth job build starts off strong, but I doubt anyone would follow it into the later levels.
I'm pretty sure nobody will wait until 18x to max Maple Warrior, although most people do have it, it's easy/cheap to acquire the book now and I personally hate having to rely on other people for something like MW20.
If you go to Horntail often (which I understand probably isn't the case in JMS), you'd want maxed Time Leap a lot earlier than what you have.
Personally, I just don't like Energy Orb much at all, it is nice that you can use it both untransformed and transformed, but the fact that the damage halves just turns me away from it. If I wanna mob, I'll just use Dragon Strike/Energy Buster/Shockwave [I could use the 3rd job Transform and just Shockwave without it affecting the cooldown for SuperTransformation, right?].
Although Snatch does stun, and in turn activates Stun Mastery in the SuperTransformed state, I think any trainable mob would die in one Demolition regardless of hitting criticals or not. Demolition has a nice range itself, and being in the state gives you Haste. Also, I don't see why you'd go any further than 25 Snatch, as that's when it hits 6 monsters. Any higher just increases the damage. I could see myself getting something like 19 Snatch [5 monsters] or something, though it is still pretty rare to catch a mob of 5. I barely get 4 when I use Dragon's Breath on my Marksman.
I know yours is just a possible skill build, and your reasoning for it is logical. Just putting in a few of my thoughts on it. =]
