I think most bards will use this set up

Cure, Sacred Prism, Stoneskin, Raise, and either Resonance or Sanguine Right, the tanks i play with generaly dont need Sanguine Right cast on them and with the BRD MP regen song I bet it wont be needed for anyone other than THM/BLM. So IMO the only really useful ability is Resonance for fights like Ifrit.
True though Paladin won't be able to use Sanguine Rite by themselves and as a Tank, Sanguine Rite is essentially infinite MP. Paladin will however be using magic of their own and Cure, so the MP is nice. True a Bard could just use the song but it depends on all of the variables we don't know about how the MP song works.
