Then again, you can go as monk, find that it sucks, change back to PGL.... problem solved
You have to consider that switching to bard means you are loosing B2B, Keen Flurry, and Invigorate. You are now going to be tasked with keeping peoples songs up, and your stats are also going to be affected in someway. Your AF is probably going to be support oriented, which means you'll be relying on melds for DD gear.

On the other hand, MNK and DRG stat changes will most likely be str boosts at least, and they both still have access to all 3 lnc dd skills+blindside, get new dd skills and combos, and their AF is most likely going to be heavy DD gear that we already know trumps melded gear.

Also, look at the two abilities Sap and High Jump. Jumping out of AoE and freezing a target (maxi moogle?) Also imagine how fast 100 fists of fire will take down wiskerwall...
