trust me bard 2% crit buff isnt that MUCH at all also i highly doubt mage ballad increase EVERYONE hp, if it does it would've say in the description already, its more likely that ONLY increase the bard hp. comparing HYPERCHARGE and TROUBADOUR, they are ALMOST the same because hyper-charge cd is only 120s and troubadour is 180s... that 60s (1 min) can make a DIFFERENT for raiding. It is true that BARD now has a lot of utility but MCH has A LOT more dmg buff in return.
