Well, last night I used DDD/COD/Heal in Perma extensively. However, I did
this in the entry hall :)
We had 5 in our group: 18th Bard, 18th Shaman, 19th Shaman, 21st Shaman,
18th Ranger
One of the Shamans would bring between 1 and 5 gobbies down the hall, to
near the zone line. After everyone engaged, I would crank up my songs.
Quite often, everyone would attack the yellow/red gob, and leave the green
one(s) alone. I know that I dropped several greens without anyone ever
hitting them. (Gobs will run if they are real hurt, unless, as far as I
could tell, another gobbie that is stronger is still around.) Even at that,
with the DOT damage, alot of them would drop long before they hit that first
turn. Also, the ranger would snare the runners. Several times I would go
halfway down the entrance to ensure a DOT on the runners, and would not get
the new spawn in the corner with it. I would equate DDD/COD range to about
the same as hymn, and shorter than bellow. I got close enough to bellow the
guy in the corner, without damaging him with my aoe's.

p.s. I did NOT try to use these songs much past the first ladder into Perma.
I do NOT know if this would cause a train, say at the Flag Room. If you
want to try it, use it at your own risk :)
