Not to give any credence to this post, but it makes me wonder about high end bards. Can bards mez as well as chanters in the deep 50s/60s? ...
Yes. Chanters have better CC skills on raids, but a good Bard should CC in exp groups from 28-60 (or at least 28-57 since I'm only 57 now) better than a chanter can.

This is untrue. Bards are the best pullers for exp groups and arguably the best CC. Their songs also give the best resists in the game on raids. Both manasongs are great too. From 1-50 they're incredibly good at soloing, and actually fun and not boring as hell like most pet classes. I think you meant "rangers", not "Bards", either that or you group with some terrible Bards.

As for kiting all of OT, I've been using OT to PL a friend's bard and my pulls have about 30-40 mobs on average, and even with several other bards in the zone I usually still see tons of mobs on track that I haven't claimed. This is just in the area near the FM zoneline so I could be wrong about how bad OT is for regular exp groups.
