Wasn't gonna bother commenting but as an Enchanter this speaks to me. The ratio of bad bards to good is probably 5-to-1 conservatively. When a Bard is invited to the group I usually expect the following:
- Bad pulls
- Semi-AFK
- Mobs being charmed/uncharmed every few seconds (this doesn't jive well with there being an enchanter in the group at all)
If you are lucky it'll be a Bard that swarm kites mobs in a circle while the group picks them off one by one... in this scenario the Bard is merely annoying *other* people in the zone rather than the group.
Some of the most obnoxious players I've met are bards. "I can pull bro watch" --> face pulls a room of mobs that have to be AE mezzed.

To be fair, in typical groups on P99 a bard will shine far brighter when there is no enchanter.
I totally understand the lack of overlap with mezzes and the confusion on charms. A good bard with a good enchanter is basically like turning on "pull the entire zone god mode" but that is rarely the case. 95% of the time you're better off with just the enchanter.
I used to play like a total hooligan on my bard, but thats because I cut my teeth mastering enchanter first.
