I've had a lot of fun as a Bard Monk combo, it's a super efficient combo for doing blues but the recovery time for doing evens or harder gets really long. we found for outdoors you can do harder mobs by having the bard kite and the monk just run behind beating on them.
between bandages, mend, and the heal song you don't have a lot of downtime with the duo at lower levels
once your 35+ it's probably going to become more efficient to have a healer with you, we just hit 32 and it's becoming more and more common at the end the fight with both of us sub 30% so we're having a lot more downtime than we did before.
Keeping agro off the bard has gotten extremely hard as a monk too, between slows, and snaring the mob so they don't run they generate a ton of agro. If they have to charm something It's rare that I'm able to get it off them. It may be slower leveling with a shaman/druid but you'll end up making up for it at higher levels imo.
Edit: wanted to add, as a bard/monk combo I would think it would be pretty easy to get groups, you have an excellent puller, CC, Slows, Haste, misc buffs, and good dmg.
