MAJOR song missing - Bard - everything else is great

If you don't have to use Paeon or Mage's ballad... why don't you use Requiem ? It does not decrease your dps and it increases greatly the dps of your SMN/BLM/PET... or you'd rather keep your mana for... nothing ?

I'm usually in 4 man groups, and with me in the group, that leaves a single DPS slot open. Most of the time it's Monks, Dragoons, or other Bards. Requiem never sees a use for me because I never see a mage to use it with. 8 mans...it's usually with the FC, and only one person runs SMN or BLM (it's the same guy who plays one or the other) every time, and we're usually running Garuda EM, CT, or Ultima HM. All 3 I save my MP because face it, it's way too easy to screw up to the point where a healer will die and have to be rezzed and their MP restored.
