Bard is subpar to a lot of classes when you are grouping to level up. If a group wants CC/Mana regen, Enchanter is the better option. If they want a puller, there are better options than Bard. You are basically patchwork for a group that is lacking if for whatever reason there isn't an Enchanter or whatever other class LFG that the group needs.
The only thing Bard really does well is resist songs, but that is more for raiding end-game. Everything else they do, there are classes that do it way better, especially if you compare Bard to Enchanter. Bard is basically a useless class. The only things Bards do well is powerlevel. The best possible group make-up for leveling won't include a Bard. You could just throw in another Enchanter and charm a pet for more dps and so more xp.
Maybe if you are super decked out and have epic and all that, Bard is half-way decent. The problem is, are you going to be super decked out and have epic? Usually that doesn't happen until the very end of leveling, until then, you are basically second, third, etc.., last choice for a group if they can't find better.
You can still have fun but it seems like more than likely, a group will want you for CC/Mana regen, and Enchanter is superior in every way.
Good luck with the Bard
