Is Bard still getting the shaft for groups despite their recent buffing?

[Yoruichi4478]

I've recently come across a couple ppl on my server who, despite the brd buff of 3.3 iirc the patch number, they would still pick a mch over brd because of the few hundred dps more a mch can bring to the table.
I am asking you all out there, is brd still getting the shaft on your servers despite SE recently buffing them? If that is the case, then perhaps SE buff them even further to be on par? I don't know how things are going on other servers so I'm just curious.
If the group's overall dps is there, then it shouldn't matter if the ranged is brd or mch. I'm curious what you all have to say on my question on this post header and what not.
