Personal opinion regarding the Bard song changes:
For raids, two Bards are now more useful.
For groups and solo-duo, one Bard is less useful.
Makes Hymn of the Saviour useful. I never used HotS before, but now have reason to. Using HotS, along with Pot4, Firey Warcry, and one other beneficial song (MotS or Regen, or whatever) makes one Bard less useful, while making Two Bards more desirable in raids.
Makes Pot4 pretty much a raid buff. No longer as useful for group or solo-duo stuff, due to dropping the AC and DS. If we're dropping the AC/DS then balancing with an increase in resists... and I'd call this a workable change.
MotS is still useful, but less so. In a caster heavy high tier fight, a few extra AC means very little in contrast with damage reduction from high DD mob attacks. If the point was to take AC from Pot4 and place it on MotS to make having two Bards more useful, then I guess I kinda see a point to it. What would actually make MotS really useful would be to drop the AC component and expand damage reduction to include all magical type attacks from DoTs as well as DDs.
Anthem of Command had a longer recast time already that the lesser charm. Increasing recast is detriment to me using it effectively, other than for very short fights where I don't have to worry about having to recast it in the middle. This is kinda sad in that I have looked forward to this valuable song for a long time.
