No way will those sorc/wiz keep buffing every two minutes haha who the heck are you kidding. Bards will be casting these buffs because they will have extend that is what is going to happen. If they added mass displacement to the game so I just had 3 buffs to cast that might make up for it either that or double the duration and remove extend so I am not the only one who will be casting these buffs on raids etc.
Do you keep everyone perma-Displaced? I don't play a bard, but I refuse to do this on my wizards. I give everyone Blur and, if a situation really calls for it I'll hand out Displacement. I often do just before shrining, and losing Extend would eliminate that option.

Extend becomes less common-->Displacement becomes less common-->blindness effects become more important again.
