Never once did I say make Bard's buff spells stronger.
You started by asking for a full support role. Then you asked for a support/dmg that queues as dmg and can reduce its damage to buff the group or play at full dmg. Which is what a bard does. So no, you never explicitly asked for buffs to the bard's spells. You have asked for bard++, at which point the question is one of deciding if a new dmg/support class is needed, or if the existing class needs to be improved.
