You really lack the insight as far as game mechanics to be writing a guide. Just because a bard can wear plate and stack hip gear does not mean he is an efficient tank. Reducing damage comes down to two components. Mitigation and avoidance. Bards can wear plate but only mitigate slightly better than a cleric and significantly worse than a sk/pal/warrior. Avoidance is where they really get hit hard. With caps of 75 for riposte and parry even rangers will do a better job of absorbing damage.

I'd really like to see some parses of this purported gigantic difference in mitigation and avoidance, especially comparing bards to rangers and monks, but also to knights and warriors.
