When I used to play I just played an SK but always thought bards seemed cool. For the first few levels of trying a Bard I almost thought of switching as I just didn't like it. Then it got ridiculously fun once I learned all the things you can do (such as kiting with chords/selo's/regen etc.)
The unpredictable running speed of some mobs makes kiting really lame sometimes, as you accumulate a third or fourth enemy to chase you and then find that he's hitting/stunning you even though you're using selo's accelerando, which has made me have to zone sometimes because I figured I had no chance against it. It doesn't happen that often, but it's led to my death at least once or twice.
Basically, bards are fun even if you've never played one before, but as was mentioned above, there are a few things that still ought to be sorted out before they're perfect.
