I watch these two, and they both seem unfit for their role. I'll start with Jaune cuzz he's the easier...

Jaune currently has no semblence; in and of itself, it's not a problem, he's never been trained. However, he also has a "LOT" of aura; which leads me to believe he would be better suited to the role of mage. There's nothing wrong with having combat training (Velvet for example), but he gives off the heh aura, of utter failure, despite his best intentions. Figuring out how best for him to use dust, would likely advance him quickly through Combat Mage ranks.

Weiss has her Glyphs, which are an incredibily supportive semblence; she also uses a variety of dust to radically alter her glyphs. To say she's an MPV of team RWBY, would be an understatement; she IS the MPV, and Ruby has taken blows on her behalf on at least one occassion. Her glyphs have more value to the team than her fighting ability; and her rapier really is little more than an enlarged wand (which can do serious damage). Watching her fight, she appears to lack the necessary aura to do the close combat she's been trained in, causing her moments of unconciousness at crucially bad times (one has to wonder, how long the Giant Armor stood waiting for her confirm combat go). The more she uses her glyphs, the more she exposes herself to damage, seeing as semblence requires aura to power it, which would temporarily reduce protection. It would not be a stretch to see her placed as Mage (ala School 'o' Goodwitch); I would hazard to stretch that to combat mage, I don't think she such be in the mix if she can avoid it, she's too valuable to the team to risk that way.

On a side note...

I gotta wonder what a multi-flavor dust magazine would do to Ruby's speed... the things one ponders.
