Well, based on this and the post before it, I think my experiences definitely put me in an "overperformance" mindset vis-a-vis what was done in classic. Now it seems the question is will I be able to lower both my expectations and pace of play, and still be happy with it? Guess I'll just have to try and see...

I think this person is way off base and his comment is an absolute joke. Combat bandaging? Bandages are useless compared to the damage output that a) a player could be putting out and b) the damage output of mobs. Smart players ARE casting between med ticks. A bard playing just 1 or 2 songs is one that would never get invited to another group of mine. There is already a dislike for many bards due to their experience penalty and essentially being "budget" enchanters. Also many bards on this server have a tendency to go afk in groups with a single song up which has hurt further hurt the reputation of bards. Just because one person wants to justify their laziness doesn't mean that's how the class should be played.
As I stated previously, bards are the only class in the game that somewhat requires "mechanical skill" and choosing to play a bard means you are going to have to work harder than others to play the game at an effective level. It might not be fair but that's how it is and if you can't or are unwilling to twist songs then you probably shouldn't be playing a bard.
