Stay away from the dark side and don't learn how to aoe kite at all, this will help when trying to make friends and join a guild. You have more options than any other class for leveling, being an ahole (aoe kiting) while clearly the fastest is never the best choice.
you can:
group
melee mobs yourself (OP hp regen, aoe slow lv20+)
bellow kite (lv12+)
aoe dot 1-5000 mobs (lv2+ but easier 18+)
fear kite (26+)
charm (27+)
chant kite (30+)
all with no downtime, again while aoe kiting is the clear winner in terms of leveling speed what in the bleeding gums murphy are bards in such a hurry for? Even doing the least efficient method, probably bellow kiting, bards still level faster then any other class.
take your time, group and have fun, the raid rotation piece of pie crap will still be there 10 years from now.
