You mean because shadow priests were mana batteries, which is only a quarter-step above being relegated to cure-botting? It wasn't much of an upgrade.

It still wouldn't work. Firstly because bard already has a cooldown for TP and MP regen (and BRD is DPS). Second because you'd make getting a group together infinitely more difficult and much more time-consuming. In case you forgot, finding "support" was always what would make or break a party, moreso than a tank or healer would.
