Is there a reason why bard masteries stop when you get too much damage?

No idea why this is so, but I would like to have this changed. Then a bard would be a really pvp useful template and I would like to try this.

Well, as far as dev reasoning, I haven't seen any. Logically? Punch someone playing a guitar, they might keep going okay if you hit them once. Keep hitting them, see how long they stay in the groove. It makes sense to not be able to continue your music when you're taking a beating.

The musician will die while the scene is going down...and he will continue play the fiddle...mmm
