Anyone else not find Dancer appealing as a class?

The only thing I can’t stand about dancer is how SE used dancer as a reason why they stripped bard of all its support. Makes absolutely no sense. Bards and dancers both suppose to have really good support. How can they do that?....

What all did they take away from Bard support wise? It still has three songs that grant party buffs right?

When ShB was released, they had removed the party-wide buffs from Bard's three songs along with other jobs' party-wide buffs because of how the raiding-meta was in prior expansion, which favored jobs that buffed the party and/or synergized with others (DRG+BRD as an example).
They added the buffs back due to fan feedback.

As for the subject on hand, I'm a DNC main. >w>()
I enjoy the more fluid rotation and random-procs.

On release they stripped the buffs from Bardsongs, and removed Foe Requiem from SB to ShB, the buffs were later added back after fan outcry. And with the removal of TP, they also removed Tactician (rather, reworked it into MCH's mitigation cd) and Refresh... our AST still feels the loss of Refresh on prog.
