So basically the idea behind this class is to do minimal healing/damage, and remove nasty status effects/good things from allies/enemies...It is a very simple concept, and highly useful as status gets more powerful late game. Unfortunatly, that leaves Shaman rather outclasses in the early game...anyone have any ideas on how to make them more useful?

I did something similar to this for Beowulf in my personal patch. He kept several of his status inflictions (not all, as I wanted Oracle to still be plenty useful without becoming obsolete) and Shock!, and gained two new abilities, Aspel and Nightmare, edited to be like what you're describing.
Using Death's formula, Aspel removes nearly all status effects, good and bad, and heals the target for 1/3 of their max HP.
Nightmare removes the same status effects, good and bad, but deals damage to the target instead.
So my Temple Knight can heal and damage, as long as someone's inflicted with a status, which is something else he can easily do. End result is, he plays similar to an Oracle, but has a nice twist to him that makes him unique, kind of like a combo/finisher type system.
Not sure if this helps any, but I thought I'd share, as this isn't too terribly far removed from what I've done.

reminds me of a Witch skillset I came up with when messing around with Ogre Battle themed concept jobs a while back.
Witch
Skills
Sleep
Sleep 2 - area 2, lower % then Sleep
Taipir - summoned dream sprite causes sleeping allies to awaken refreshed (50% max hp heal)
Confuse
Confuse 2 - like sleep 2
Frog
Frog 2 - like 1.3
Curse - inflict Poison, Blind and Silence
Charm - spell inflicts charm on a single target at high %
Break Heart - spell cancels charm and deals 50% max hp damage with 100% accuracy
Kiss - range 1, no mp cost, no ct, heals an ally for a small ammount of hp and cancels Frog and Charm status
incidentally, the fact that you already have a Shaman class is the reason I didn't vote for Witch as a replacement for the dancer
