On the Bard, pre-clarity I definitely think a Bard is a huge help for both mana and HP regen. Post-level 29 it's not as helpful since you can just have an Ench with clarity, CC, and great DPS via charming rather than incur the 40% Bard penalty.
I wouldn't really be comparing pure bonuses vs pure penalties. I mostly meant to examine whether the big penalties that people worry about - bards, paladins, SKs, trolls/ogres - can keep up with a similar group composition but without the big exp penalties.
