So, this simply isn't true. When comparing cDPS in 7.05, which is when the playerbase is most competitive, MCH only just barely surpasses DNC at 50%. Even all the way down at 10% Bard still thoroughly trounces it. Come 7.1 and it doesn't even keep that negligible 50 cDPS lead on DNC nor does it beat SMN. It's dead last.

Now the difference between it and DNC at these lower levels wass never high enough to warrant locking it out. At least not unless you also locked out DNC. Unfortunately, the recent buffs have pushed DNC closer to BRD's territory, thus giving a more legitimate reason.
