I disagree with this comment.
MCH is still a support role. They still provide TP/MP regen, Damage buff, and a very powerful debuff (dismantle).

I will agree that MCH falls behind a bard in terms of support due to bard songs. But this certainly doesnt make a MCH pure DPS. I also think they need a DPS boost, but for some reason, MCH have been really hard for SE to balance. They either suck, or are godly. This usually happens to %based classes. Like monks they tried to impliment a +%boost to their abilities. Which means MCH will scale better as gear progresses. But we shall see.
