Wouldn't a Bard be a lot better than an Enchanter in the Enchanter - Paladin - Cleric trio? He can do most of what an Enchanter does, not quite as well, but also adds some much needed DPS. I would imagine the kills would be incredibly slow in that group even with a twinked Paladin. Not to mention he adds movement abilities to negate the Druid idea.

If you replace the enchanter with the bard, you would probably also replace the druid... in which case you are dealing witha completely different group setup.
Bard has snare and DS and great resist but his own DPS is shit. Bard DPS does best in a group with 3-4 melee classes. If the bard is just hasting himself and the tank it's not that noticeable.
Also don't forget that if the bard is mezzing adds or charming, or pulling then during that time you are barely getting the benefits of all the buff songs.
Yes a bard is extremely versatile (one of my favorite classes), but you would probably want a completely different group to complement him.
Bards are awesome for duos (not to mention solo). Snare kite with a druid or necro, fear kite with a necro or SK. Quad kite with a druid or wizard. Bard can truly shine in these scenarios. But I'm getting sidetracked...
