That is one of the biggest, but the bard epic isn't about 1 thing that it changes that makes it OP, it is about the combination of all those little changes that enables the class to do so much more with the limited time they have with their songs. Bard dps is bad, but 25 DPS is better than 0 for a raid. 56 MR might not be the be all end all, but if it keeps 2 or 3 rogues from getting feared for 8-10 seconds, that is huge. Ask TMO about how important resists are to raiding, took them awhile to figure out, but TMO today isn't wiping to gore with 70 people like TMO of the past, and the main reason for that is resists (not intended as a dig at TMO, you clear doing well now, but you guys have to admit in early Kunark some of you raids were straight up embarrassing). 30 atk from epic + the singing mod on the 55 melee song, applied to a group of rogues or monks is a significant dps increase. Any one of these things on their own isn't game changing, but when put together an epic bard brings so much to a raid that a non-epic bard cannot, that I would consider it game changing.

Yep, 56 MR is pretty good, i agree with this.
Still looking for the 55 melee song though, because the only things we get at that level is the hp/mana regen and the 8s stun+dd on a 5m cooldown. If you're talking about the level 54 song, it's a straight 45% haste with no stats, which you will not play during a raid because melee will have better haste from a chanter.
Unless you're talking about the level 57 McVaxius Rousing Rondo? That's a brass song, if you're in a group of rogues and monks and want to optimize raid damage, you should switch to your brass instrument when you play it.
So as an epic bard in a raid setting you provide 30 more str/atk and 56 more MR, than a non epic bard. Sorry but it's hardly game-changing.
