In a group, a fantastic bard brings incredible utility to the group.

And just for that guy saying wizard quad kiting is harder than swarm kiting... In an average swarm kite of 50 mobs, a bard has to press keys probably 1 - 2 thousand times non-stop for 10-50 minutes, if you press any of these keys out of sequence or at bad timing once, or accidentally hit S instead of A or D, you die INSTANTLY. Granted I haven't quad-kited with a wiz (only a druid), I doubt its anywhere near that intensity.
If you are a keyboard turner you are already doing it wrong.

Bard kiting is simple. You do figure 8s either using auto-run or mouse plowing with both buttons. You don't have to worry about adds until respawns start, and you don't have to do anything but mindlessly run the same pattern over and over. No need to worry about adds, mana depletion, trying to sit for med tics, snare duration, etc. Quadders die a hell of a lot more than bards. Unless you have a sketchy internet connection.
