I love playing bards, but they are too much damn work. I generally only raid on my bard now (when I'm active) and tend to group on my rogue, because I'd rather have a more relaxing group experience.
Bards are pretty easy on a raid. Get your songs setup, position yourself with your mouse, and then just mash 1, 2 2, 3 3, 1 1, 2 2, 3 3 ... until the mobs is dead. (generally)
In a group situation, all 8 song slots get used, and that shit can get tiring. Tho, I am really enjoying playing my bard on red right now. And after some downtime, the only real way to get back to boss bard status is through grouping.
I expect to be grouping a lot on my bard come Velious, and will cut that shit out when my wrist starts throbbing. You should probably sideline Zanderr until then (other than on raids) so you can actually play him whenever Velious launches.
Sorry to hear that you need surgery! (time to utilize some alts)
