Ill save you the testing, with the appropriate gear and buffs and 3 Bards, yes you can have 4 clerics chain cast CH and Never go OOM.

It doesn't take a chart to prove you wrong. 2 bards in group giving you 50mana/tick, 21 from chorus, 18 from VoQ, 9 from SD, 5 from emp shawl, 15 from FT, 3 from mental clarity and if you're outdoors a horse for sitting regen. Alot of regen, sure...But chain casting CH, unless you use an instant click item after it lands to sploit recast is one cast every 12 seconds. Manacost on complete healing is 400, the only way to reduce that mana cost is specialization checks. In 12 seconds with the optimal setup for manaregen you can't even hit 300mana. Most places you'll be chain CHing with 4 clerics are not outdoors, so that eliminates a horse.
So if you happen to even have 3 bards, it's possible to extend the duration of your CH chain a very long time, but not infinitely. Then you remember clerics usually end PoP fights at over 50mana and the only way you're going to lose is by killing your main tank. Smack yourself for not giving wizards focus, mana and DA and decrease the margin of error because the mob is now dying twice as fast. DOH!
