Bards and tanks need tp also so the song isn't only for the melee. Even 10 seconds of the tp song is enough to counter the natural tp drain of combos by at least a minute. Add in the fact that the most tp expensive job is monk and that they also do significantly more damage than bards... hell any class for that matter, wouldn't you rather have them doing full damage for as long as possible?

Requiem is nice if you have a summoner I suppose, but blackmage isn't exactly competing in turn 8 damage at the moment.
