To be honest, there's no scenario where a bard would need to cast protect. You always always have a healer, or you're not doing something where you're going to die.
I suppose if they add a boss that constantly dispels buffs..
And at 50, stoneskin costs 266 mp. Believe it or not, it drains fast on a whm or sch if you spam it. I'll use it on a tank sometimes, or a weakened target helping them edge through til weakness wears, but I can't imagine a job with 1400 mp (or whatever bard actually has) would want to spam it. It's a good spell at certain points for PLD, but I know how it feels on such a little mp pool.
You want your bard to have full mp to get max time out of songs. They'd have to alter the job quite a bit if they actually wanted it using mp for other things.

To be honest, forget coil, CT, titan, this is probably a nerf targeting WP speed runs because how dare.
