Bard - late/end game grouping?

[fastboy21]

i often choose to use lute instead of dual wielding when grped with shaman as main healer, if shaman is canni'ing to keep up. With lute and cantana/shield going shaman can almost canni constantly without any issues.

if party is full mana then i switch to dps mode...which is generally pathetic for bard, but is better than nothing.
