Dex is of importantance for bards.

If you're running thru a dungeon and miss a note and come visible, or if you're pulling over water and miss a note and your lev drops, or your resist song drops and you're charmed while pulling a dragon, or etc, etc. There are plenty of situations where a missed note will cause you, your group, the main tank etc to lose a critical buff with bad consequences.

I agree that HP/Stam and resists are of primary importance, but you must balance a reasonable amount of dex in there too
