if it lasts 36 seconds or less its not a buff, its a heal over time catigory spell. I hate to lose something else to make room for it, but its value is unmistakeable.
PS, after your dead, I'd rather have 14 real buffs than suddenly losing 30% of my current buffs.
bards are not a buffing class in the classical sense, I would call them combat buffs at least.
Personally I dont know why bards dont have some songs that can get stuck in your head
