Meh, cleric / enc / bard is actually not great. The bard doesn't do much there. Too much overlap and your only damage is the enc pet...its "too safe."

You've played this game substantially more than me, so I won't try to challenge your assertion that it's "actually not great". And sure, I've been in groups that slaughtered mobs at a faster rate, like a ~50s chanter/necro/cleric/shaman group in CoM.
We were all mid-30s, untwinked or minimally twinked, dungeon crawling challenging stuff for our level, looking for a couple upgrades for the enchanter in the Guk and Sol dungeons. Between Clarity and bard mana regen, we were swimming in mana, and with bard health regen, I didn't need to spend much of it on heals. I was in fine plate, with haste gloves and a PWC, so I think I spent a lot of the time tanking and spanking, with nukes and stuns mixed in. I think the bard often mixed in a charm pet, so all three of us contributed DPS.
If your ideal group involves sitting in camp buzzsawing through the mobs that the puller is bringing in at a steady clip, then yeah it's probably not a great trio. But for crawling challenging dungeons while maintaining a substantial margin of safety even without excellent gear, I think it's excellent. And I often prefer crawling dungeons to sitting in a camp.
