Gear recommendations for a Bard?

[Qaedain]

Now that I'm closing in on 50, I've spent the last week or so on a detour to gear out a Bard, the next character I intend to level. (I always wanted a Bard.)

I'm almost done with the Lambent armor quests, as well as the Hero Bracers. I also plan to buy two Golden Star Ruby Rings. As for what I have on hand: I have a Cape of Midnight Mist, Ring of the Goblin Lords, Gypsy Lute and MM Battle Drums.

The instruments I have are a no-brainer, but I could use some tips on a wind instrument.

I would also like some weapon suggestions. I have a Silvery War Axe, Staff of Writhing, Cat o' Nine Tails and the fangs for an EBW. An EBW makes a fantastic OH, but I can't help but wonder if that slot is better spent on a weapon with stats, since Bards aren't "really" a DPS class. Is it worth it to sell the fangs for something more appropriate?

Other suggestions for non-Lambent slots would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, everyone.
