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.
yea, my bad, was thinking 57 song, doing other things and didn't look up the name (which I can never spell properly) so just guess the level. Should have remember Cantana was 55.

Instrument switching simply isn't practical on raids. A current top end bard is going to drop 20 MR and over 100 hp to switch instruments in, not to mention it isn't simply 1 click since you have to unequip both the main and off hand. I'd be amazed if any bards in TMO or IB switch in instruments during raid encounters. Not only are you twisting songs, but you're using clickies, making sure you're pushing in the correct direction, making sure you're positioned correctly to get songs on your group (especially on dispel fights considering the range of dispel song).
