BRD LB Change plz

I realize in 1.0 BRD had the CNJ subclass and the Healing LB made more sense. It feels in 2.0 that with the PGL subclass that the LB might need to be re-looked at at some point. Ideally, a toggle to swap from Healing to DPS LB3 would be the most ideal imo and add to the unique part of the class. Its very curious to me that none of the CNJ skills can be equipped from any of the sub classes in its current incarnation in 2.0 for better or worse. Just seems like SE will really need to decide how they want to evolve the class, more of its FFXI build style, more of its 1.0 build style, or something new like it is now. In any case, I would really like SE to look closely at the BRD LB and see if that's the way they really want to do it (Support) vs more of a (Damage) LB.

i like bard lb. when the team makes that mistake and people start dropping like flies, the healer is struggling to keep them self and the tank up, healer lb due to animation time may not be an option for them. so what do you do? bard to the rescue. my bard lb has saved groups from wipes plenty of times. need a dmg lb? have a melee in your party. aoe lb? caster. 2 bards in party? they have utility to survive. example being demon wall. the 2 bards combined don't have the dps to focus wall? well tank pulls both bees, bards focus wall, and silence bees when necessary.
i'd rather keep the party going then be like those dragoons i see who think they can save the day with a damage lb that hardly makes a dent and we wipe anyways
