I answered the first because it's an easy answer. I ignored the second because it's a biased question that limits scope and asserts your own subjective opinion of how useful they are as an important factor.

Bards can increase damage of casters. NIN can increase damage of slashers. MNK can increase Blunt damage (and decrease INT while they're at it). DRG can increase damage of Piercing. Foe's is, therefore, not "unique" as a damage increase utility because it's just another thing that increases a specific subset's damage. And is objectively less useful on a boss as it won't have (near) 100% uptime as compared to everyone else's since they'd be part of their rotation.

don't tell me about other jobs' utility that can't refresh resources because that was never what I asked for.
Bottom point is, brd/mch do buff/assist anyone and anything in the party including pets. Is there any job that can do that?
Question marks indicate the end of a question. If that wasn't the end of your question, you did it wrong.

Although what you mentioned can't touch bard's utility because of how useful it is to the party.
Subjectively.

Which is more useful in things that aren't raids, though?

A TP song that isn't getting played because the fights aren't lasting long enough to play them, or a debuff on the boss to make the boss take more damage, or a buff that increases everyone's crit chance?

I'll remind you that raiding is a minority of the game. Not everyone raids, not all dungeons are raids. Raids are not required to progress through the main scenario, nor are they available in the roulettes. And you'll ignore it because that's all that you think is important while ignoring the other 95% of the time.

After playing this game for 2 years, I have never seen a single party progressing through any of the difficult content without a bard. AT ALL.
That's nice. And largely irrelevant to anything I've said.
