Dots are, but I can hardly think of any situations where my group benefitted more from dots than they would have from other songs. HP regen and dmg shields are affected by instruments, but imo it seems like it would be hard for those to out weigh other songs I could play plus bard dps. Bard dps might suck a bit, but with BoH / Guardian Mace I bet bards are able to put out 30ish+ dps melee against exp mobs.
I could be wrong, but chanting with instruments never really made sense to me. Always seemed like I could do more with melee and support songs that weren't affected by instruments.

I parsed my 46 bard with BoH/GM vs LOIO Bloodgills a couple weeks back. I don't have the log handy but IIRC the results were something like:
Nostrolo's Tambourine
Snare, Fear, Magic Chant, Fire Chant, Frost Chant
~27 dps
BoH / GM
Snare, Fear, L45 Haste, Fire Chant, Frost Chant
~30 dps
Only had song haste, no haste item
