Bard in the party... thoughts?

No, precast as in, cast it before the status effect comes up, instead of waiting for the effect to pop and casting it.
It's better to precast and have the effect never hit then "timing" it to hit as the effect starts (since WP blocks the next status ailment OR cures one status ailment).

Actually it's not an OR. It's an AND. It will remove a current one and block the next one.

I find that, as DRG main, expert roulette takes longer with a BRD as other dps, than with a real damaging job. Guess BRD's in expert roulette aren't usually people to main them and thus know them less well?

This is kinda the thing though. A lot of the bards you will meet in DF aren't mains or they are just taking it easy.
