Jobs they are looking for are jobs I have no interest in playing, much less gearing up to the accepted minimum. I would love to try the fights for the experience, but not enough to spend the time/gil to be accepted in a shout group.
I would suggest you're exaggerating about people shouting for a 4 song bard, I saw a friend shout for a RDM + 4 song bard in one shout but that's because we needed a 6th, he could do either of those jobs but both were needed. As for Ochain, such a common item it's only natural people expect a PLD to have one and RNG is the flavour job atm and any DD is expected to be top notch since everyone wants to be a DD nowadays.
