Likewise on my WHM, Having a Ballad active forces me to full MP no matter how hard i dump spells. Its just that if you don't look for the icon ... You don't see that its active, even if you can see the effects. I Advocate the spell effect being accompanied by a visual aura on affected people, not too obnoxious, but big enough to be seen, so when you see it, You KNOW a BRD is singing. (Personally i want the musical notes from the King Mog Trial >_>)
Also, I'm ok with a system that rewards proper use of skills. On the other hand, if they made it too powerful, BRDs would be "must haves" for all content. I think its in a good spot power wise, just needs visual help
