I agree, and i'll even add that the real usefulness of bard epic is the singing modifier. It's the only item in the game that improves song based on singing. Every other instruments has a batter modifier than the epic, which is 18.
Since slow/mana regen cannot be improved by any instruments, the only thing bard epic gives is a better snare/debuff with the 51 song and slightly better mana regen with the lvl 32 mana song. It has a nice 55% haste proc with stats though, so if there is no chanter in the group, you can switch chorus of celerity for something else.
Earlier this week i was in a LCY group in KC. warrior/monk/rogue/rogue/shaman and me. Shaman was main healing with greater heal because he was 52. No clarity. How did he do that? Because i wasn't meleeing.
When i wasn't mezzing, i was stacking hymn of resto+niv's melody of preservation/3 pulses of mana song. Iksar regen+fungi+regrowth+hymn+niv's, he was getting close to 100hp regen ticks. That means a lot of cannis and with mana song on top of that, he kept 4 melee hasted and buffed + slow on all mobs + main healing with greater heal. Constant pulls too.
Me not meleeing was the right way to play, in that particular case.
