I am not going to flog you for it, but I will say that most brds that are pulling will not stop to give Ballads, and if the cor stops giving evokers there won't be many RDM that are going to be able to keep up with a party unless the DDs are very good (but then you run the risk of killing faster than repops), or are holding back (full timing Seigan etc).
Although if the cor is /DNC that would go some way to mitigating the MP requirements.
It can happen, I have been in partys where I have sat between 80-100%MP for the entire 2 hour party (with ballad and ballad II) never got close to needing to convert, so in the right situation there is room to drop the buffs on the RDM, but its rare (in my experience).
I loled at the idea of only giving the mage cor roll, if I was the DD in that party I would be pissed. But I normally merit on RDM (as a pick up RDM scares me more than a pick up DD) so I would be laughing all the way back to the moogle.
