SE doesn't need to break the Trinity system for a support class. They can simply make 5 man content, 3 straight DPS or 2 straight DPS, 1 DPS- Support. AION's Chanter and Songweaver classes are good examples of this working.

BRD is already a DPS/ Half-arsed Support, to fix it; they just need to add songs for an HP HoT, Attack speed, and Attack at the cost of 25% - 30% damage dealt by the caster, make everything 5 man and done!

Also, do you really want to do away with trinity? can you imagine the crapfest to follow in DF groups if they were to take it off? Maybe not so much on Atomos, but man when I get a group of Tonberrian E-Players, it's an absolute nightmare. . . .I can't even imagine what it's like on NA servers. . .and I don't want to imagine how'd it be if they did get rid of it. . .m mmmm mm, nasty.
