A Druid with a primal and shovel of the harvest does around 7-10dps on a raid mob, bards often do 25dps on AoW. Which do you feel is more of a melee archetype?

Neither of those numbers feel like a melee archetype. Bard is obviously "more melee" than a caster but nobody plays them because of their pure melee capability, and it would be misleading when a new player asks "I want to play a melee character, which one would I like most" to ever tell them to play a Bard. People play melee either because they want to be a tank or because they want to see big damage happening when they swing their weapons. Those are not things Bards excel at. You need to twist songs every 3 seconds to excel as a Bard, which are things that can be interrupted when getting hit, the same as spells. Bards are more caster than they are melee.
