Bards are pretty weak in an xp group because what they add is limited to three things at once. A chanter haste and clarity is always active, even while he is dpsing with a charmed pet and locking down adds with mez.
On a raid bards are decent in caster groups, but they are pretty useless in melee groups as haste is taken care of by the chanters and what little a bard adds is more than replaced by any dps class. Without fading memories bards are far inferior to monk pullers and even necro or sk pullers indoors. Highsun is a fun spell, but dangerous. Don't try highsunning a summoning mob that has taken some damage. Its easy to lose corpses doing that in NToV.
