It's not just about songs. Brd can help with stoneskin/cure to when needed. If you think a support job with DD capabilities is going to be able to keep up with pure DDs you are sadly mistaking.

It's simple everything brd will get to boost is dps. MNK/Drg will get and more.
I don't understand why you deny the DD part of BRD. Brd is not solely a support class, it's a class which has the option to pick between support and dd or any degree of it in between.
