Jesus, lots of bad information in this thread. Most people posting have either never played a bard or have stopped after swarm kiting becomes hard at 55.
The most important stat is DEX, since, aside from twisting songs, the most important job a bard has is generating weapon procs. I usually finding myself starting a fight with double tash sticks so that the shaman can pull off a critical slow.
CHA is very easy to come by with gear, and you usually only need that in situations when you're charming - i.e. when you probably don't need the other stats. STA is always useful but the group utility lost between you eating 60 more hp worth of aoe and your tank eating extra rounds of mobs quadding in the 250s is huge.
Put 20 into DEX and 5 into STA and don't look back.
