I see no issue in that side of their 'support' functionality making a return, especially if Monk's Chakra casts could be improved to have their dps catch up slightly (say, cast scaling with GCD).
    BRD actually isn't 'incredibly TP efficient' if you're playing the job right. Even with low skill speed. Iron Jaws is great, but Empyreal Arrow negates the TP benefits Iron Jaws provides. If you're playing optimally you will barely reach your 2nd invigorate or sometimes not make it with 500 skill speed. Considering BiS BRD builds have over 700 skill speed we face similar issues to NIN.

    I pretty well made the decision to go Ninja over Bard, myself, upon running the BiS calculations for each and seeing how much unavoidable SS there was. I left my Bard with as little SS as possible before swapping, and have sadly come to remember it in that unadulterated, TP-efficient state (at least compared to my other physical dps).
