It depend on the fight, for instance in turn 11. It might be a little easier for some group to complete turn 11 without having to worry about monks killing each other when tethered because they're doing their positional. Also adds would melt much easier with this set up. Blms put a hell of a lot of damage if played correctly especially if foe's is running for awhile. Oh and don't forget you get about 4 battle voices a fight which boosts their dps by 20%. Blm's are pretty high up there on the dps chart and with the boost of longer lasting foe's paired with ballad as well an extra fire cast when ballad is running. They could perhaps be on par or succeed monk damage. Someone would have to test that but you can totally see the possibilities. Right now songs are more situational which I think is for the best, otherwise songs with no damage penalty would require way less thinking. Not to mention groups would probably force their bards to always have X-ethers on them so they can keep their songs running.
