Foe Requiem does not cost the Bard DpS; it is a roughly 11% increase in caster DpS and you are guaranteed at the least 2 per 8 man content. Healer DpS is being factored in for Alexander Savage so FR will help in there.

Paladin has increased MT and OT DpS, but little effective way to recover TP. Effective use of Armies Peon will likely extend their ability to DpS by more than 25% while the Bard temporarily loses 15% damage output and tank DpS got a lot better than it was at 50.

Do not assume that standards set in 2.55 when Raid content was overgeared will be the same when Alexander Savage is released.
