And you can mezz more then 4 creatures at a time.

The link I provided was Lucy's, which reads directly from the database. I'm not arguing that the in-game tooltip states "4 target max", I'm arguing that the limit did not truly exist, regardless of what the tooltip states. The links you provided rip data from the tooltip, but do not comment on a target limit when discussing actual use.
Even the link you provided regarding resists alludes to the lack of a target limit:
Back on target: Pickled is dead wrong about bards in general, disregard his information about bard DPS. Bards do their best personal DPS using instruments and songs, not with melee weapons. Bards add the most DPS to a melee-oriented group utilizing melee weapons and haste+str songs (as haste is unaffected by instrument modifiers), with the caveat that if possible, temporarily charming an add is a great addition to DPS, but not something that is to be relied upon or available. Bards add teh best DPS to a group of casters utilizing drums with DPS songs that also contain negative resist components, while also singing mana song so casters have more mana to DPS with.
But a bard is not brought for his personal DPS, he is brought for the utility he adds to the group through regen, hastes, slows, stat buffs, debuffs, and the other songs within his vast arsenal of ballads.
