Like Crede said, Walrus Skin Drum is stellar but you really only need it if you're going to solo (for DoTs) or if you need to take off running w/ selo's.

As you said you'll be focused on grouping at peak hours, which you will be using the lute the entire time. Hymn of resto gets a big boost to healing and at 34 Cantana is string required. May as well get used to it now.

It may be out of your price range right now, but The Eye Pulling Helm was my favorite bard item. You can keep playing mana song in your group and go pull w/ the eye and deal with the mobs that come roaring into camp like a boss.
