No, that's your logic. Minuet increases your damage at the cost of your movement and auto-attacks. Ballad and Paeon decreases your damage at the benefit of restoring MP and TP. Do you see how this works now? You don't just get a huge damage buff for little or no cost. Most of the time it comes with a long cooldown, but this is a song so these are the requirements if you want this damage boost. It's the same thing with BLM's new Ley Lines ability.

If you're really unsure about it's potential, then I encourage you and others to do as you say further down your post, and wait and see. But by no means will this be relegated off to the side along side BRD's other oft unused abilities like Shadowbind or Swiftsong. Every single new ability is supposed to change up each job in big ways.
