It's 1 song that you repeatedly spam not 2 that you twist. You make it sound like we're these gods that can just mez whole zones at a time, and you're wrong about how to actually pull it off.
I'm just laughing because people here are offering help when they don't know how bards work on P99. It's nice in thought, but you're feeding the OP incorrect information.
And finally, the thread is entitled "How are Bards in the DPS department?". Not "why picked_heretic thinks bards are OP".

I never said you twisted songs in order to use aoe mez, I said you CAN twist other songs. And yes, just like aoe in skyfire, once you start stunning/mezzing 100+ mobs, you need someone else there doing the same thing to decrease the number of occasional resists. The fact that, 2, or even 4 bards can even contemplate doing something like this indefinitely is still broken at a raid level and nothing like the way it was for classic. NO amount of enchanters could pull off the same thing, and they would only be able to stunlock it for as long as they had mana, which WAS classic.
my first post also commented on DPS, which was also completely accurate. charmed dps is the best dps in the game and bards are one of the four classes that can charm. that puts them somewhere near the top of the DPS tier list as long as there are appropriate mobs / pulls for them to charm from.
