Bard Song Fixed

From Fletch:
Before the latest two patches, the level 43 Bard song, a mana using AoE
damage song called "Denon's Desperate Dirge", damaged the bard as well as
surrounding mobs. This has been fixed. The song will no longer damage the
bard when sung. I tried it against two mobs, they each took 288 points of
non-melee damage, while my health bar remained unaffected.
