It's the bad Bard that concerns themselves with just their output as a DD. When I spawn into a dungeon my first act is often Swiftsong, because who doesn't like to get going a little faster? My second is to check to see who all I'm in with. If there's a caster I set in mind that I should Foe's when I can, if the tank is a marauder I consider keeping a finger ready to sing Paeon and if the healer is a White Mage and thinks it prudent to Holy I keep ready to drop Ballad. Never do I think about going balls-to-the-wall damage output that seems to be the prevailing idea of how a Bard should Bard.
