Most of the L19(?)-25 shaman buffs are sufficient to duplicate
the stat bonuses the bard songs provide at level 40+. Using
those, a shaman can easily keep up enough buffs on a party of
6 to simulate a bard keeping those songs up.

A shaman doing full buffs on select party members is much much
better than a bard doing a maximum of 3 buffs on all party
members. That's what he's talking about.
