MCH turrets are used in the support skills because the reason you state...

Bard loses damage to sing songs (the ones both MCH and BRD can use) so the mch should lose the same.

If the mch didn't lose DPS then bard wouldn't be used in end game at all. Why take a person that loses dps to support to a class that can support and not lose dps at all.
