    Don't see it happening as long as classes/jobs have Main Stat. You will always want your main stat above all else.

    If further levels in Bard gave it the ability to dance through songs for most of combat, then something like Piety would be more valuable for song upkeep versus wasting it in Dexterity, when the Bard would rarely be using his or her bow. If it gained the ability to become a support healer, then dumping everything into Mind would empower heals far more than the small damage increase from Dexterity, making it a very viable tradeoff.

    Heck, the game just came out. Dexterity could be so high on gear in content months ahead from now, that allocating to Piety for song upkeep could be a better tradeoff. A main stat is defined by what benefits a character the most, according to player preference and role. It's not so cut and dry; in fact, some classes are already split over which stat to prioritize, like Marauder.
