Professional Bard here. The point of melee as a Bard is to proc things. Go for useful procs and completely ignore weapon damage/delay. If you're not twisting 4 songs, swapping instruments and weapons, proccing shit, and entertaining the group then you're not playing Bard. If a single mob you're fighting casts a spell you failed and should delete your character.
Also in the current P99 broken channeling/charm/mez meta Enchanter is still ridiculously OP making Bards retarded as a character choice.
