The problem is that bards were never well accepted in groups. Being a jack of all trades is both a blessing and a curse. You can fill in for most roles, but if one of the classes who specialize in that role are available, most group leaders don't see the point in inviting a bard.

A skilled Bard is an amazing force multiplier when you're in a dungeon crawling to a named or breaking a difficult camp. A Bard who is on top of his game, a Bard who not only knows what his songs do but also knows in detail how his songs interact with spells and is able to quickly work out tactics with the other casters in the group, a Bard who can pull so well that the Monk gets as angsty as a Paladin about how he's "useless", a Bard who can CC without being flattened the instant one tiny thing goes wrong, a Bard like that is worth his weight in fungi tunics.

Takes practice tho, you don't learn any of that AE kiting. When the 60 Bard and the 60 Ranger in your group are discovering for the first time that Bard slow prevents Druid/Ranger snare from landing you'd best have a charged WC cap ready, just in case.
