My numbers are based on pure attacking or pure healing. Yeah, you can pick scenarios where one will beat the other. I suppose Druid was based on a single target which is slightly biased. Too sleepy to fix right now; may fix it later.

Druid is significantly less effective attacking if there is a single target, or immune to negative effects. Bard cannot focus heals.

If Bard skips a turn, there is still residual healing. If Druid skips, there is not.
As a healer, Bard heals more.

Druid advantage in attacking is if there are multiple targets, or intermittent attacking. Bards advantage in healing is anytime you don’t need to focus it on one bird. (I like Paladin, so it tends to even out.)

Your same scenario, but with a single target: (H=Heal A=Attack)
Bard 3A1H (HAAA) = 480 damage 75 healing
Druid 2A2H (AAHH/AHAH/AHHA) = 370 damage 80 healing

For comparison sake:
Bard 2A2H (HHAA/HAHA/HAAH) = 320 damage 105 healing (160*2)d (30*2+15*3)h
*Note how if Bard heals a second time, the healing is more than Druid in the same situation for only slightly less damage.
Druid 3A1H (AAAH/AAHA/AHAA) = 505 damage 40 healing (35*3+100*4)d (40)h
*Admittedly slightly more damage than Bard, but large drop in healing.

For fun:
Bard 4A (AAAA) = 640 damage (160*4)
Druid 4A (AAAA) = 540 damage (35*4+100*4)

Bard 4H (HHHH) = 165 healing (30*4+15*3)
Druid 4H (HHHH) = 160 healing (40*4)

I suppose that I will concede that Druid, in most situations, is better at attacking due to the DoT nature of their attack. However, I maintain my stance that Bard is the better healer.

Edited when cut off of for moves are for clarity.
