Best DPS class in the game?

Songs is not something that must be always on. Good healers do not need mana songs except for a few encounters.
I see most healers wasting their mana.
Requiem is more important than mana song and does not apply a 20% dmg penalty.

You cannot judge a class at low level. BRD is weak and boring till lvl 45+ and it really shines at 48. There is no fixed rotation since you rely on proc.

you have not done any of the hard modes yet... You are not killing that stuff without a bard using songs.
