Back to the original BARD vs. ROGUE debate:

Bard:
+ Can do a little bit of everything. I've even found ways to "fit" in with a group that already had a chanter and shaman.
+ Track (especially with how low the ranger population is)
+ Fastest soloing in the game.
+ Solid group support.
+ ALWAYS doing something.
- ALWAYS doing something.
- little DPS, groups bring you for your support, not your large numbers.
- bard sneak/hide/lock pick is vastly inferior to rogue version

Rogue:
+ melee are top dogs in DPS in classic, this won't change until foci and AA (which are not planned at this time for P99 server)
+ highest melee DPS in the game (especially after epics come out)
+ easy epic
+ best invis in game (hide/sneak)
- straight DPS, you bring the pain...and that's about it
- not as much to do, backstab and aggro dump are all you do in combat

I'm sure there's ton's I'm missing, but if you want to have a nice, "classic" chill time while still being wanted in groups for your DPS, roll a rogue. If you want to always be busy, roll a bard.
Just gunna address the bolded part.

Rogue poisons can be very effective debuffs, although they're a pain to level up and too expensive to use in an xp group they can actually be quiet useful against bosses, I'm fairly certain they're unresistable.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
