DRGs need a silence too!

Yep.
Unless all of your experience revolves around ilvl 70 geared players running Titan, in which case there might be some irony.

(Bard lags behind the top DPS classes by upwards of 20% in later content as median gear levels approach ilvl90)

If only your role was straight-up DPS like mine is...you'd have an argument then. No, you're needed thanks to your utility; if anything, your DPS probably should fall more so that people will take other DPS on raids rather than stack BRD.

And yes, I know you don't need double BRD in Coil, just like you don't need double PAL...just makes things easier in certain situations.
