So unless your tank or whm are just terrible, RefreshII+BalladII/III+2 is MORE than enough; 7MP Refreshes from RDMs + with 9MP Ballads from non ghorn brds is MORE than enough especially since you can idle in 5MP/tick refresh. That's 21MP a tick, the extra 4 MP isn't noticeable like it was at 75 where WHMs would be at 7MP/tick usually 8 if /smn so it'd be about 50% more MP. BRD inventory excuse is a joke too you use all of 5 instruments, Ballad, Lullaby, Elegy, March, and Minuet. It's not that big a deal to keep 5 items in Mog Sack or Satchel when you have 240 slots of storage between those and your gobbiebag. Even if you don't have Satchel its still 5 items out of 160 slots and considering BRD doesn't have to do gear swaps like melee(who usually have at LEAST 20 pieces of gear) BRD needing 19 total isn't bad at all.
I'm not really a BRD, but I'll tell you this much. Refresh will become more important as the content progresses. All MP based actions to come will cost more and more. There also seems to be a tendency for time limits to be added to every new event. Voidwatch and the new Dynamis NMs only give you 30 minutes to fight them. For things where you want to nuke, that refresh will become more noticeable as instead of where it was mostly just survival before, it's about increasing damage to race a clock (Not that anything currently is terribly hard or pressing you for time with a larger group mind you). It's also still valuable for low manning as it can completely offset the loss of another Refresh.

It's not nearly as powerful as it once was, but it's not really garbage as it's still a powerful buff.
