Lots of people saying bards should sing haste, but I suspect everyone is thinking that all Bard songs are overhaste. Well, they're not. Bards don't get overhaste in Kunark, and EDIT: I didn't play a bard in classic, so I don't know what happens in Velious.
Bard haste is really quite weak: The best Bards get in Kunark is 45% (lvl 54), which gives no other benefits, while enchanters get Celerity (50%) at 39, and Shaman get the same at 56. All of these are v2 haste, so none of them stack with one another. When there's a shaman or enchanter in the group, a tanking song like Nillipus', or the STR/AGI from Verses are probably what you'll want to play.
tl;dr: Bard haste songs are weak and don't stack with anything.
