Even with the loss of aoe ( i hate that ) kiting eq bards still represent one of the most unique classes an mmo has ever seen. They can seriously do almost anything. Yes they take damage like a ranger wearing plate ( poorly ) but you have so much utility as a bard once you start hitting the middle levels you can go do so many things other classes only dream about by yourself.
If your going to play a bard its really hard to min/max from the start because you never know what your group or your solo style will need in a given situation. I personally put points into cha because its a really cool idea for a stat in a game, just like how bards are a really cool idea for a class in a game.
